Decarbonizing the Downstream Industry

Highlights from Houston

Check out the highlights video from the inaugural ESF North America which saw downstream leaders from the region gather to help drive forward decarbonization of the industry.

And what did we learn? With no silver bullet to achieve net zero, the industry must adopt an “all of the above” approach, and work together to take advantage of all opportunities. Look out for takeaways from the panel discussions an0d post show report coming soon.

A huge thank-you from the ESF team to all our speakers, sponsors and attendees who joined us in Houston for the inaugural ESF North America and helping to make it such a success.

Welcome to the ESF North America Energy & Sustainability Forum Houston

Leading industry experts will gather in Houston, Texas from 20th – 22nd June at the only conference dedicated to downstream decarbonization in refining and petrochemicals.

ESF North America, is the latest in a series of energy transition focused conferences to support the collaborations, discussions, and development of a sustainable energy future in which the oil and gas downstream industry continues to play a leading role.

As North American refiners and petrochemical producers position themselves for a low carbon transition, and with no silver bullet to achieve net zero, the industry must form a coherent approach to take advantage of all opportunities. The challenge to invent new technologies, new supply chains, new value chains and new markets has never been so complex.
