Thank you for joining us for this year’s ‘virtual’ XPO. We know it’s tiring to watch webinars and online content when we should be with our friends and peers, networking in person, so we really appeciate your attendance.

Our thanks to Energy Minister Kwasi Kwarteng for his video message which you can watch on this page, his statement to open the conference confirms the government’s commitment to the net zero pathway and the value of the energy sector.

Our theme this year was “rethinking energy’ – and we had some great sessions. More than a thousand of you watched over the week and we had an overall 4.7/5 star rating for the content!

You can continue to catch up on all the content here and watch any sessions you missed. Thanks to our sponsors and our amazing editorial speakers and most of all thank you.

Then the unexpected hits and you rapidly adjust your ways of working and production. You are now looking at a different business and energy landscape.

The Net-Zero Pathway – what haven’t we thought about?

This year has seen a fundamental change in energy thinking, recently referred to as our next industrial or clean growth revolution. Many economies are aligning their policy to incorporate technologies to support this, which is a welcome change from the stale rhetoric flowing through the energy industry for the past two decades. Re-thinking the basic goals of energy is already happening and starting to filter down into the building blocks of the future.

There are however existing topics that haven’t been fully explored or confronted. Matthew aims to take you through a few subjects that continue to stick in our mind ranging from the unexplored through to the veracity of the things we are being told.
