AI has the power to revolutionise downstream operations and drive advancements in efficiency, innovation, and productivity. Through its implementation, AI can strengthen health and safety practices, optimise inventories and production output, provide predictive maintenance, boost energy efficiencies, improve supply chain management, and enhance internal decision-making processes, driving significant improvements across the downstream value chain. This can help reduce operational costs, increase output, optimise revenues, and improve the carbon footprint of downstream operations. However, maximising these gains requires the adoption of new technologies, the integration of diverse data sources and IT tools, the enhancement of cybersecurity protocols, and the adaptation of the workforce to new operational paradigms. As the potential opportunities in leveraging AI to transform operations, drive efficiency, and unlock growth are far-reaching, how can the downstream industry effectively navigate these challenges to fully realise AI’s transformative potential?
Attendee insights:
Understand how AI is driving innovation, improving efficiency, and creating new opportunities for growth in the downstream energy industry.

Sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is gaining recognition as a sustainable alternative to traditional jet fuel. Despite considerable interest and investment, challenges hinder its widespread adoption including the high cost of production compared to conventional jet fuel, limited availability of sustainable feedstocks, lack of clear and consistent government policies for production, and infrastructure. Scaling SAF production can play a key role in meeting the aviation industry's need to decarbonise. To achieve this, significant R&D investment will be required to optimise SAF production from emerging feedstocks as well as consistent international policies to provide clear, long-term signals to incentivise the necessary capital investments by SAF producers.
Attendee insights:
Learn about the potential of SAF to reduce carbon emissions and the strategies required to finance and scale its production.
According to IEA, the demand for heavy industry products is expected to rise given the requirements for constructing and maintaining nuclear power plants, wind turbines, and other clean energy infrastructure. Accounting for at least 70% of industrial emissions per year, heavy industry sectors must work pragmatically towards decarbonising their operations and operational excellence. Challenges and potential bottlenecks include retiring or retrofitting long-lived plant assets, electrifying inherent industrial production methods where possible, innovating solutions for high emissions and high heat intensity processes, and scaling emerging and new technologies for commercial viability. Significant investment and coordinated policy support will be required to activate significant and timely progress toward decarbonisation.
Attendee insights:
Hear from industry leaders’ perspectives on operational requirements and challenges towards decarbonising heavy industry operations and the strategies needed to address them.
Southeast Asian countries face a tough challenge in transitioning their energy systems, mainly because they rely heavily on coal, need more power and transport, and have different levels of industrialisation, resources, and energy infrastructure. This makes it hard to reduce emission intensity, especially as economic growth demands more energy. To strike a balance between growth and sustainability, developing nations must work together through regional collaboration, international cooperation, and sharing best practices and innovative solutions like electric transport, renewable energy, and energy efficiency improvements. They must also consider how to ensure fairness for workers, businesses, and consumers by providing access to capacity, finance, products, services, and affordable energy.
Attendee insights:
Understand the unique challenges Southeast Asian countries are facing in the energy transition and gain insights on strategies and technologies being deployed to tackle high emission intensity in growing economies.
Hydrogen offers promising pathways for lowering emissions in the cement industry. Although hydrogen production costs are currently high, they are expected to decrease as renewable energy prices fall, making green cement a potentially cost-effective option in the future. The transition to hydrogen-based cement production relies heavily on the development of a robust and extensive renewable energy infrastructure to ensure a consistent hydrogen supply. However, the environmental credentials of ‘green’ cement require close examination, as a thorough evaluation of lifecycle emissions and the scalability of these technologies is necessary to validate their sustainability claims.
Attendee insights:
Understand the potential of hydrogen to revolutionize cement manufacturing, explore economic trends, energy frameworks required, and examine the critical analysis needed to substantiate the environmental benefits of adopting hydrogen-based solutions.
