CERAWeek by S&P Global

23 – 27 March, 2026. Houston, Texas, USA

Chaired by Daniel Yergin, CERAWeek is recognized as the foremost annual gathering in the energy sector, rated among the top five “corporate leader conferences” worldwide. This premier event convenes over 1620 C-Suite executives, 84 ministers and top officials, and 365 media representatives, with more than 10,000 participants from over 2,350 companies across 89 countries for dialogue on the agenda ahead as the world enters a new era of energy transition.

CERAWeek 2026, Convergence and Competition: Energy, Technology and Geopolitics, will focus on the challenges ahead for energy security, power demand, markets, infrastructure, supply chains, policy directions and the advance of technology including AI – and what this means for all aspects of the industry and beyond.

Through a diverse set of programs and platforms CERAWeek highlights the linkages of these topics across industries and showcase the partnerships and collaborative models that are transforming energy.

Asia Pacific Forum
Participant: Graham Henley, CEO
Date: Monday, Mar 23. 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM CDT
Location: GRB L3 Salon 2

Asia Pacific (APAC) sits at the center of the global energy system, shaping future energy trade, climate action and economic growth. With its mix of mature economies and fast‑growing markets, APAC is projected to remain the world’s largest energy consumer and emitter by 2050, giving the region outsized influence on global supply chains, energy flows and climate geopolitics. Achieving net‑zero across APAC will require a dramatic scale‑up of renewable energy, sharp reductions in fossil fuel use, and stronger policy, financial and technology frameworks. At the same time, shifting global dynamics—including trade tensions, sanctions and geopolitical competition—are reshaping how governments and companies pursue energy security, investment and cross‑border cooperation. The APAC Forum convenes senior leaders to explore how the region can balance security, affordability and decarbonization while navigating this uncertainty. The session will examine how APAC can leverage its scale and diversity to accelerate the energy transition and shape global climate and market outcomes. How can energy security and affordability be strengthened amid global volatility? How can countries and companies co‑develop scalable decarbonization solutions? What policies can enable energy trade and resource optimization? How can APAC reduce renewable and mineral supply chain risks? What long‑term role will gas play in regional competitiveness? How will digitalization and AI influence demand and investment?

Energy Efficiency: The industrial advantage

Speaker: Graham Henley, CEO
Date: Tuesday, Mar 24. 1:30 PM – 2:00 PM CDT
Location: GRB L3 Carbon & Climate Hub

Improving manufacturing or operational efficiency and reducing energy consumption are a winning formula for reducing costs and therefore gaining a competitive advantage across the energy sector. What are the key ways to improve “energy efficiency” in an operation? How much is down to digitalization and AI vs. other technologies? How much demand is there from end users for energy efficient solutions? What can governments do to better incentivize and promote energy efficient solutions?

CCS and CDR in the US: Moving forward

Speaker: Dr Faye Gerard,: Energy Transition and Americas Director
Date: Wednesday, Mar 25. 1:30 PM – 2:00 PM CDT
Location: GRB L3 New Energies Hub

While shifts in US climate and policy priorities have influenced the appetite for funding of some clean-tech projects overall, CCS and CDR projects continue to move forward, supported by 45Q tax credits and further legislation in some states. Moreover, there is scope for growth of CCS in certain segments, such as in gas-fired power generation. What are some lessons learned from CCS and CDR projects which are progressing in the US? How reliant are those projects on policy incentives in the long term? What is the outlook for further growth in CCS and CDR projects?
