Procurement Meeting Place

Hype or hope? The power of artificial intelligence to transform procurement across the energy sector

Energy companies worldwide are leveraging AI to intensify operational optimization as they navigate the transition towards multi-faceted low-carbon energy systems and supply chains. Alongside the technological benefits: from data-driven predictive supplier analysis, to digitalized inventory management and RFx processing capabilities, AI-powered tools can assist in mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities caused by geopolitical or market disruptions, enhance workforce productivity, and help foster safer working conditions. However, the full potential of AI augmentation is yet to be harnessed by the procurement industry across the energy sector. How can businesses fully harness these digital tools to accelerate productivity and output to ensure the upcoming AI-first future of procurement is one of hope, not hype?

Leveraging collaborative action and funding to achieve 2030 methane emissions goals

Reductions in methane emissions from oil and gas operations are essential to meeting climate goals, with a cut in global emissions of 30% projected to bring US $250m of direct economic benefits globally.

COP28 saw a raft of announcements supporting the rapid acceleration of methane reduction efforts to achieve meaningful progress against 2030 targets. The Global Methane Emissions Pledge increased its membership to 150 countries; two funds were launched to focus on methane reduction and anti-flaring and the US unveiled new legislation focused on identifying and penalizing oil and gas sector methane emitters.

With new mechanisms in place to drive methane emissions reduction, roundtable participants will debate the options for deploying these initiatives to achieve maximum impact against 2030 targets. What can industry stakeholders do to support producers in tackling methane emissions and ensure these measures support the principles of an equitable energy transition?

Plenary II

Talent for the transitions: Building the workforce needed to deliver the challenge of the century

As energy companies match the pace of innovation with the changing nature of work, the IEA forecasts tremendous growth in energy employment in the years ahead. IRENA estimates that employment in the energy sector could grow to 139 million by 2030, with another 16 million workers shifting to clean energy roles. Sixty per cent of these new jobs will require some degree of post school training and reskilling.

Which leadership strategies are being adopted to enhance the reputation of the industry as a flexible career path in a multifaceted ecosystem? How are businesses closing critical skills gaps and redefining the employee value proposition and industry experience to inspire engagement across demographics?
