Green methanol: The catalyst for the energy transition
The role of green methanol in the energy transition, as an alternative to fossil fuels in key sectors.
Energy is the operational backbone that supports global industry, infrastructure, and economic development. In this section, we integrate the full oil & gas value chain (upstream, midstream, and downstream) together with maritime operations, logistics, asset integrity, technological innovation, and emerging energy systems. Its scope spans exploration, production, transportation, processing, storage, and distribution, connecting geoscience, engineering, automation, digitalization, and critical infrastructure management.
Across all regions of the world, the energy sector continues to evolve under advanced regulatory frameworks, escalating efficiency demands, and increasing expectations for operational reliability and environmental performance. This section provides a multi-layered understanding of how energy is managed, transformed, and optimized throughout its lifecycle.
Key Topics of the Energy Pillar
- Exploration, drilling, and production systems (Upstream).
- Transportation, compression, pipeline management, and logistics (Midstream).
- Refining, conversion workflows, terminals, and downstream processes.
- Oil & gas value chain: integrated insights and sector-wide analysis.
- Marine terminals, loading/unloading operations, ship–shore standards, OCIMF/ISGOTT.
- Asset integrity: corrosion, RBI, coatings, reliability engineering, asset management, inspection, NDT, standards, case studies, and technical guidelines.
- Energy innovation: IIoT, digital systems, predictive analytics, smart monitoring, and efficiency strategies.
- Energy transition, emission reduction, and emerging technologies.
