Registration for DECARBON 2027 is now open. The new edition follows the 2026 Congress that brought together oil and gas leaders, EPCs, technology providers and infrastructure players around one shared question: how to move decarbonisation from plans into projects. As pressure on the industry grows, the 2027 programme will stay focused on the implementation side of the transition – from CCUS and low-carbon fuels to energy efficiency, regulatory adaptation and execution in live operating environments.

What DECARBON 2026 Showed About the Industry’s Priorities

DECARBON 2026 made clear that decarbonisation in oil and gas is already a part of the working agenda. Hosted by Shell, the Congress brought together 250+ participants and created the setting for 180+ B2B meetings. The audience mirrored the way these projects come together in practice, with the whole oil and gas value chain in the room. That mix mattered because the discussion was shaped by the realities of implementation – technical, commercial and organisational.

The agenda focused on the areas companies are actively working through now: CCUS implementation across the value chain, digital tools for sustainability, low-carbon fuels and feedstock, energy efficiency, emissions reduction and the role of collaboration in getting projects off the ground. The discussion stayed close to practice, with leaders from oil and gas companies and related sectors sharing recent milestones and project experience.

“At DECARBON 2026 I got a very good overview about the latest and current initiatives and projects which provide the basis for a more sustainable fuels and energy products base”, -  Otmar Schneider, Senior Vice President, Site Management Schwechat at OMV Downstream GmbH. 

That combination of a strong professional audience and grounded discussion is what gave the Congress real relevance for the market.

Why the Conversation Is Only Becoming More Urgent

The pressure on the industry is not easing – companies are operating in a tighter environment, where decarbonisation is shaped by long-term energy transition goals, as well as by emissions targets, investment scrutiny, technology choices and infrastructure limits. In practice, that changes the nature of the discussion. The real question now is how to move forward without undermining operational stability, efficiency or commercial logic.

The conversation is becoming more specific. Broad strategy still matters, but it is not enough on its own. The focus is now shifting from target to implementation: scaling mature technologies, building the right partnerships, integrating projects into existing assets and learning from companies already moving from planning into execution. That is why a new edition of DECARBON matters in 2027. The industry needs informed discussion around decisions that are already being made, not postponed to some distant future.

DECARBON 2027 Is Open for Registrations

Registration for DECARBON 2027 is now officially open. The next edition will continue the lines of conversation that already matter most to the industry, with a programme shaped around the practical questions of decarbonisation in oil and gas: 

• how to ensure safe and controlled energy transition? 

• how to transform emissions into new economic opportunities?

• how to stay competitive using fast ROI from environmental benefits?

• how to adapt to evolving regulatory landscapes? 

The emphasis remains clear – DECARBON 2027 is built around the decisions, projects and partnerships that shape progress under real business conditions, including successful collaboration models for Net-Zero goals and project examples from leading industry players.

Just as importantly, the programme is developed with close attention to the priorities and challenges oil and gas leaders are working through now. Joining the Congress early means not only planning participation in advance, but also entering the conversation while the agenda is still taking shape – with an opportunity to highlight your priorities and bring your business needs into the discussion. That earlier engagement gives more room to choose the right format of participation, define how your company wants to be represented and strengthen positioning across the event’s networking and communication activities. It is a way to enter 2027 with stronger planning, better visibility and a more deliberate approach.

The Next Stage Starts Now

After a strong 2026 edition, DECARBON starts its next cycle at the moment when the industry needs distinct implementation pathways, strong cooperation and grounded answers. The value of the Congress lies in the mix of people it brings together – those working across technology, business, infrastructure and partnerships, and those responsible for turning decarbonisation targets into workable projects and long-term cooperation.
