The business
programme of the Russian Energy Week (REW) International Forum 2024 has been released on the event’s website. The Forum will take place in Moscow on 26–28
September. The main theme is ‘Energy Cooperation in a Multipolar World’. REW
will feature roughly 30 thematic sessions and business dialogues that are
divided into thematic pillars: ‘International Agenda: Cooperation for
Development’, ‘Sustainable Energy Development’, ‘Technology and Data as the
Foundation of Leadership’, ‘Development of Russia’s Fuel and Energy Industry
Sector: Strategy and Regulation’, and ‘Socially Oriented Fuel and Energy
Industry’.
“The REW 2024
business programme was prepared taking into account the industry’s demand for
reform and the creation of new approaches to production. At the Forum,
participants will examine ways to enhance the efficiency of work with
traditional energy resources amidst growing demand for them and discuss
strategies for the development of all aspects of production and processing, as
well as the capabilities of low-carbon energy. The Russian fuel and energy
industry plays a key role in the global energy market, so the decisions taken
at the REW will have an impact on the development of global energy and the
economy in the long term,” Deputy Prime
Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak said.
As part of the
‘Sustainable Energy Development’ track, participants will discuss the role that
hydrocarbons will play in the energy of the future, improved energy efficiency,
and other issues. Discussions in the ‘Technology and Data as the Foundation of
Leadership’ will focus on the robotization of the fuel and energy sector, the
use of artificial intelligence in energy security, and prospects for the
development of power engineering. The agenda for the ‘Development of Russia’s
Fuel and Energy Industry Sector: Strategy and Regulation’ pillar will include
plans for the development of oil production, the coal industry, and issues
concerning electrification.
The REW 2024
business programme will devote extensive attention to international
cooperation. The ‘International Agenda: Cooperation for Development’ pillar
will include a session on energy cooperation between Russia and Africa, a
meeting of BRICS ministers of energy, the annual meeting of the BRICS Energy
Research Platform, as well as a discussion of global trends in the industry.
“The REW 2024
programme reflects the current challenges that the industry faces today, which
include: achieving technological leadership in the energy sector, its social
focus, as well as maintaining a balance of traditional and new energy sources
to ensure the country’s sustainable development. It pays special attention to
strengthening international ties within the structure of the fuel and energy
industry and Russia’s role in the global energy industry. The systemic changes
in the world require new approaches to solving global issues. I firmly believe
the Forum will help formulate principles for the development of the fuel and
energy sector on the basis of equality and partnership,” Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation
and Executive Secretary of the REW 2024 Organizing Committee Anton Kobyakov
said.
The ‘Socially
Oriented Fuel and Energy Industry’ section will focus on the development of
infrastructure, including changes in the power distribution grid, as well as
issues concerning power generation and the integration of industry innovations
in cities. It will also touch upon legal support for the fuel and energy
industry and the development of the energy system in Russia.
“The Russian
Energy Week business programme will give us an opportunity to discuss how we
might better consolidate the efforts of everyone in the fuel and energy
complex, combine our skills, develop common standards, and identify priorities,
like the need to train more qualified personnel, for example. The Forum’s
extensive international agenda and the Meeting of BRICS Energy Ministers will
also make a significant contribution to the development of the fuel and energy
complex and help us create a new image for the global energy sector. Russian
Energy Week 2024 will also host wide-ranging expert discussion of the ‘New
Nuclear and Energy Technologies’ national project and the Energy Strategy the
Russian Ministry of Energy is developing at the behest of the President,” Minister of Energy of the Russian Federation Sergey
Tsivilev said.
The ‘Territory of
Energy Dialogue’ Scientific and Practical Conference will be held on the
opening day of the Forum. The main programme will feature business breakfasts
dedicated to the future of energy. The main events will take place on 26–27
September. Russian Energy Week will conclude with the traditional Youth Day. In
addition, the international Global Energy Prize will be presented for
outstanding research, scientific, and technical developments that help enhance
the efficiency and environmental safety of energy sources on Earth in the
interests of humanity. An award ceremony will also be held for the winners of
the international Energy of the Pen award, which aims to support journalists,
observers, and experts who write about the most pressing issues in the modern
energy industry, including the transformation of the global energy balance, the
development of new technologies, and climate change.
This will mark the first year that REW is held at two separate venues:
Manege Central Exhibition Hall will host business programme events, while
Gostiny Dvor will host an exhibition of fuel and energy equipment and
technologies, where leading manufacturing companies, equipment suppliers, and
technology companies from all sectors of the fuel and energy industry will
present promising projects, breakthrough achievements, innovative equipment,
and advanced technologies to a wide range of companies that specialize in the extraction,
processing, transportation, transmission, and distribution of energy resources.
The Russian Energy Week International Forum is held with the support of
the Government of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Energy of Russia and
the Government of Moscow. The organizer is the Roscongress Foundation.
The business programme is available on the Forum’s official website.
The official website of REW is rusenergyweek.com. You can follow the latest
