(Oil & Gas 360)– Growing demands for sustainability have long underscored the need for the oil and gas sector to reduce its environmental impact. Now, with the emergence of innovative solutions, the industry is entering a transformative phase — reimagining the future of energy. In this time of change, DECARBON 2026 convenes market leaders from across the oil and gas market on 9–10 February in Vösendorf, Austria to exchange strategies and decarbonisation solutions that align with operational needs.
The Oil and Gas Decarbonisation Congress (DECARBON) 2026 focuses on the industry challenge of harmonising environmental commitments with business performance. Discussions emphasise real-world applications — how companies use digital tools, low-carbon hydrogen, carbon capture technologies, alternative fuels and other instruments to achieve environmental goals without delaying implementation.
One of the key highlights of DECARBON 2026 is the presentation of case-studies from major industry players who have either achieved significant progress in their decarbonisation goals or are well on the path to success. For example, Andreas Grobler, Strategic CCUS Partnership Manager at Shell, showcases real-life implementations of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) from across Shell’s global operations.
Kleopatra Avraam, Strategic Planning Senior Director at DESFA, presents the results of DESFA’s CCS project for the pipeline transportation, liquefaction and permanent storage — APOLLOCO2. Many other leaders also share their lessons learned from practical decarbonisation efforts.
“The goal is not to wait for a perfect solution, but to start with what is available now,” highlighted Olga Shemberkas, Project Director of the Congress, underscoring the need for timely, pragmatic action over ideal but distant outcomes.
The Congress blends technical insight with targeted networking. Participants include oil and gas companies, EPCs, pipeline operators, refineries and petrochemical plants as well as technology providers, equipment manufacturers, licensors and others across the supply chain.
“It’s a good mixture — enough people, decision-makers and still an intimate atmosphere where you can get great networking opportunities,” says Jens Wulff, Managing Director of Sales & Engineering at NEUMAN & ESSER Deutschland GmbH & Co KG.
“DECARBON brings all sides of the business together: vendors, suppliers, oil and gas producers. It gives an opportunity to hear different points of view on the same issue and find what suits the company best,” notes Thomas Ludwig, LFO-Pool Manager at Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rheinland.
DECARBON 2026 offers a unique opportunity to stay ahead of decarbonisation trends, connect with industry leaders and turn sustainability goals into operational strategies.
