Wood Mackenzie speaking engagements:
Refining remains resilient, but Europeans must lead the transition
Tuesday 12th November | 9:20am
Alan Gelder, Vice President, Chemicals & Oil Markets
It’s not plain sailing, as Europe’s carbon policies burden its downstream sector, putting a timeline on many companies' strong commercial performance. Now is the time to plan! During this presentation Alan will explore:
- How can refiners profitably adapt to Europe’s energy transition?
- What are the competitive advantages of integrated sites, the economics of HVO/SAF production and key success factors for eFuel production?
The size of the RFNBO opportunity for European refiners
Wednesday 13th November | 3:55pm - 4:20pm
Ozzy Jegunma, Senior Research Analyst, Oils & Chemicals
During this presentation, Ozzy will explore:
- EU legislation provides a strong impetus for RFNBO uptake, especially in hard-to-abate sectors.
- The growing RFNBO demand requires significant investment, but the key question is where should that be?
- Considering the resources required and RFNBO production costs, how well placed are European refiners to be competitive in a global market?
