The 26th edition of WETEX will host global companies from the oil and gas sector, along with leading experts, specialists and decision-makers from this vital industry. They will discuss best practices, the latest technologies and innovative solutions to enhance sustainability in the sector.
Key topics include reducing oil and gas flaring, carbon capture and storage, improving efficiency and integrating renewable energy sources. These measures aim to reduce emissions and promote environmental sustainability, supporting the transition towards a green economy. This aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 2030, ensuring environmental protection and the conservation of natural resources.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA and Founder and Chairman of WETEX, said, ‘WETEX has played a leading role as a global platform for exchanging best practices and expertise, as well as exploring the latest technologies and innovative solutions in the energy, water, environment and sustainability
sectors.
Given the importance of traditional energy markets as long-standing suppliers for the world’s economies over the past decades, and their continued role in meeting energy demand to keep pace with economic and population growth, it is crucial to stay ahead of developments and prepare for new challenges facing the global energy sector, including oil and gas. Ensuring energy security and diversifying its sources is essential for continued economic and social growth, and for accelerating the transition towards a low-carbon economy.’
