HOUSTON, Feb. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The 43rd annual gathering of CERAWeek by S&P Global—the world's preeminent energy conference—will convene energy industry leaders, experts, government officials, and policymakers, as well as leaders from the technology, financial, and industrial communities, March 10-14 in Houston.

CERAWeek 2025: Moving Ahead: Energy strategies for a complex world

CERAWeek 2025 will examine an era of multifaceted change—in policy, technology, and geopolitics—that is reshaping the global energy landscape.

Chaired by Daniel Yergin, Vice Chairman of S&P Global and author of The New Map: Energy, Climate and the Clash of Nations, the conference will explore a multitude of factors—and the underlying issues and linkages between them—that have profound implications for markets, investment, supply chains, geopolitics, and competitive strategies.

"When it comes to charting pathways to the energy future, change is proving to be the one constant," said Yergin. "New governments and regulatory shifts, the transformative potential of artificial intelligence, technology advances, continued fragmentation of the global economic order, geopolitical rivalry, and persistent conflict—these are just some of the factors with the potential to challenge assumptions and impact plans. Successfully navigating this evolving landscape and meeting the world's need for secure, reliable, and affordable energy will require keen insights and innovative strategies. This will be the focus of the world's energy leaders at CERAWeek 2025 in Houston."

Key Themes

CERAWeek 2025 will explore several critical topics, including:

• New Policies and Shifting Regulations – How will shifts in energy, climate, and trade policies test investment approaches worldwide—and how will the new administration in Washington redefine the outlook?

• Oil and Gas – How to navigate short- and long-term market uncertainties amid a changing demand outlook, shifting policies, and a rebalancing of global supply.

• Power, Grid, and Electrification – What policies, mix of natural gas and renewables, technologies, and systems will be needed to meet a coming demand surge from the electrification of the energy system and emergence of AI?

• Renewables and Low-Carbon Fuels – How is the policy outlook changing for wind, solar, and biofuels, as well as for hydrogen and other low-carbon fuels, and how could it impact deployment going forward?

• Geopolitics – How to navigate geopolitical competition that is making energy markets, trade flows, investment decisions, technology choices, and energy transition more complicated.

• Trade and Supply Chains – How will an increasingly fragmented global trade system impact energy flows and economic growth?

• The Capital Transition – How to mobilize capital to meet current energy needs and move towards a lower-emissions energy system amid policy risks, trade tensions, and geopolitical disruptions while delivering returns to stakeholders.

• Business Strategies – How are companies evaluating, adapting, and pursuing diverse strategies and business models to support the needs of today's energy system while positioning themselves for the future?

• Mobility and Transportation – How will energy, power, automotive, and technology company strategies adapt amid shifts in government policies and consumer demand?

• Minerals and Mining – How to reconcile growing demand for critical minerals for the energy transition with persistent challenges such as long lead times, regulatory hurdles, trade tensions, and local issues of access.

• AI and Digital – How can AI and other digital technologies transform the ways energy is produced, managed, and consumed? How can the power sector meet surging electricity needs from data centers and energy transition demand?

• Managing Emissions – How can industry, policymakers, and capital providers align strategies to accelerate and expand decarbonization technologies while maintaining competitiveness and growth?

• Technology and Innovation – What models of innovation are advancing the development, deployment, and scaling of key technologies across the energy landscape?

• Climate and Sustainability – How will post-COP29 strategies evolve within a polarized political and economic landscape and a new administration in Washington?
