The industry at a crossroads: planning for future energies

The oil and energy storage industry is at a crossroads. Energy security is a real threat, and the storage industry will have a key role to play as Europe looks to diverge from its reliance on Russian exports. At the same time the energy transition is gathering pace as the world seeks to divest away from fossil fuels, the oil storage industry will need to adapt to a rapidly changing landscape or face a bumpy road ahead.
 
The European Oil & Energy Storage Conference by S&P Global Commodity Insights brings together the region’s leading storage providers and terminal operators, international oil companies, analysts, banks and regulators to explore the challenges, opportunities, and future outlook for the oil and energy storage industry.
