The conversation around decarbonisation is entering a new phase, where attention is increasingly directed towards execution and measurable outcomes. According to the International Energy Agency, investment in clean energy continues to grow, yet companies are facing rising costs, tighter infrastructure limits and increasing pressure to stay competitive while moving towards lower-emission operations. The key question now revolves around implementation.
At this point, PRC Europe 2026 comes into play, starting with the executive opening panel dedicated to building resilience on the path to achieving net zero, setting the tone with a focus on decisions, constraints and strategies shaping the transition today.
The discussion unfolds through the perspectives of Gradyent, Lummus Technology, EFuel Alliance, Sonatrach Raffineria Italiana S.r.l., Fluor and Honeywell International. Each company represents a different segment of the industry – from digital solutions and licensing to refining operations and policy. Combined, these viewpoints create a continuous and layered exchange, where ideas develop in relation to one another.
Several key themes emerge throughout the panel:
- Collaborative SaaS and digital twins as practical tools supporting refinery transformation amid shifting crude demand;
- Approaches that help align sustainability targets with financial performance in a rapidly changing energy landscape;
- An evolving role for eFuels in expanding low-carbon fuel pathways;
- Key challenges European refineries navigate as decarbonisation requirements continue to tighten.
As the discussion progresses, a broader perspective becomes clearer. Different approaches, priorities and timelines align into a more structured understanding of industry direction. Practical cases illustrate how strategies are built step by step, while conversations around the sessions add further depth through direct exchange.
PRC Europe 2026 offers an opportunity to join these discussions, connect with industry peers and gain a closer view of how resilience is being shaped across the transition to a lower-carbon future: https://sh.bgs.group/46d
