“ENERGY TRANSITION: THE PATH TO NET ZERO”- 24th World Petroleum Congress
17-21 September 2023 I Calgary, Canada
From 17-21 September 2023, the 24th edition of the World Petroleum Congress will prove to be an important bridge between the traditional energy sector and a more carbon neutral industry over years to come. Many important conversations will happen in Calgary to help define realistic, workable paths to a net zero future.
As the global gathering for the energy industry, the World Petroleum Congress is a place to dialogue, debate and inform on the future of energy. Attendees include government leaders, decision makers, and innovators from around the world.
The World Petroleum Council was formed in 1933. Today, it consists of approximately 60 member countries, representing more than 96% of the global oil and gas production and consumption. The Council is a non-advocacy, non-political organisation with charitable status in the U.K. and has accreditation as a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) from the United Nations.
The Council provides a platform for sharing technical innovations, scientific developments, and thought leadership across the industry, addressing social and environmental challenges with a commitment towards sustainable management and use of the world’s petroleum resources for the benefit of all.
