The global energy transition is radically transforming the commodity markets. Changes in policy, technology and consumer preferences, when combined with climate change, bring with them huge opportunities—and risks.

At this year’s forum, we are going to discuss how future might look for crude oil and refined products, as well petrochemicals, gas and coal in light of accelerating energy transition.

Although we still can’t see you in person this year, we’ve lined up an interactive agenda where Platts market specialists and analysts will join the panels to talk about the peak oil horizon, changing shape of crude oil market and hydrogen as a future fuel.
