The architecture of the business
programme for the Russian Energy Week International Forum 2024, scheduled to take place at the Manege Central
Exhibition Hall in Moscow on 26–28 September, has been finalized. The central
theme of the event will be “Energy Cooperation in a Multipolar World”. For the
first time, this year’s Russian Energy Week will be held at two venues: the
events of the business programme will be hosted at the Manege, while an
exhibition of equipment and technologies for the fuel and energy industry will
be organized at Gostiny Dvor. Leading manufacturers, equipment suppliers, and
technology companies from various sectors of the industry will showcase
promising projects, breakthrough achievements, innovative equipment, and
advanced technologies to a wide audience of industry professionals specialising
in the extraction, processing, transportation, transmission, and distribution
of energy resources.
The Forum’s business programme
will feature more than 30 events organized into thematic blocks: “International
Agenda: Cooperation for Development”, “Sustainable Energy Development”,
“Technology and Data as the Foundation of Leadership”, “Development of Russia’s
Fuel and Energy Industry Sectors: Strategy and Regulation”, and “Socially
Oriented Fuel and Energy Industry”. A day before the Forum begins, a scientific
and practical conference titled “Territory of Energy Dialogue” will take place.
The main Forum programme will also include business breakfasts focused on the
future of energy. The key events will occur on 26–27 September, culminating in
the traditional Youth Day.
“The stability of energy supply, the establishment of
robust supply chains, and the exploration of new regions for demand growth are
among the many challenges increasingly confronting the global energy community.
In today’s multipolar world, direct dialogue between industry players is
particularly crucial. The Russian Energy Week International Forum has emerged
as a significant international platform for the industry, and this year, it
will once again gather key participants from the Russian energy market, along
with representatives from foreign countries and companies, officials, experts,
and the media, to discuss the prospects for industry development amid changing
conditions,” Alexander Novak, Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian
Federation.
As per tradition, in addition
to the main business programme, REW 2024 will host the Global Energy Prize
international award ceremony, recognizing outstanding research and scientific
and technical developments that contribute to increasing the efficiency and
environmental safety of energy sources on Earth for the benefit of all
humanity. Additionally, there will be an award ceremony for the winners of the
Energy of the Word international journalism prize, which aims to encourage
journalists, commentators, and experts who write about the most pressing issues
in modern energy, including the transformation of the global energy balance,
the development of new technologies, and climate change.
“In October 2023, the Russian Federation approved a
new Climate Doctrine aimed at achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, which
includes reducing CO2 and other greenhouse gas emissions from production
activities to zero. The climate agenda will be a focal point of the REW 2024
business programme. The Forum’s programme comprehensively addresses all the
pertinent issues and topics that industry experts, representatives of leading
energy companies, and officials need to discuss. I am confident that Russian Energy
Week, along with the equipment and technology exhibition organized as part of
it for the first time, will once again serve as the central venue for
international energy dialogue," Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to
the President of the Russian Federation and Executive Secretary of the REW 2024
Organizing Committee.
This year, REW will host a
meeting of BRICS energy ministers alongside the Annual Meeting of the BRICS
Energy Research Platform. Special attention will be given to Russia’s energy
cooperation with Africa. The Forum’s programme will emphasize sustainable energy
development, the exploration of new resources, and the integration of digital
technologies in the industry. Participants will also discuss the development of
Russia’s fuel and energy industry, the training of engineering personnel for
the sector, and strategies for educating young specialists.
“The meeting of BRICS energy ministers is a key event
in the energy agenda under Russia’s BRICS presidency, and it will include the
participation of new BRICS members for the first time. We expect to discuss
priority areas of cooperation with our partners, such as technological
collaboration, trade facilitation, investment, research activities, and joint
personnel training. Additionally, we plan to present a study on the challenges
of a just energy transition, which experts from the BRICS Energy Research Platform
are currently developing. As always, significant attention will be given to
youth cooperation. Following the ministers’ meeting, the 6th BRICS Youth Energy
Summit will take place during REW Youth Day, with more than 100 delegates from
BRICS countries participating,” emphasized
Sergey Tsivilev, Minister of Energy
of the Russian Federation.
