The global energy sector is currently navigating a formidable challenge—the energy trilemma. Balancing sustainability, security, and affordability is crucial as the world contends with a booming population and escalating climate commitments under the Paris Agreement. These dynamics position the energy sector at a crucial intersection of challenges and opportunities, with the demand for innovative and effective solutions at an all-time high.[1]
According to McKinsey & Company, global energy demand is projected to grow between 11% (in the Continued Momentum scenario) and 18% (in the Slow Evolution scenario) by 2050, primarily driven by the growth of emerging economies.[2] These regions are experiencing rapid population surges and a burgeoning middle class, factors that are poised to significantly amplify energy consumption. The pivotal question remains: how will the world meet this escalating demand whilst adhering to stringent environmental targets?
To secure energy reliability and affordability for the future, transitioning to a sustainable landscape requires a comprehensive approach. This strategy includes expanding renewable energy sources (RES) whilst also advancing traditional energy developments. Such a multifaceted approach is essential for ensuring long-term energy security.
Despite ambitious global efforts, current emission trends indicate we're not on track to limit warming to 1.5°C, highlighting an urgent need for stronger climate action. The traditional energy industry, with its resources and technological edge, is well-positioned to lead this shift. Through carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) and direct air capture, the industry can not only significantly cut its emissions , but allows hard to abate sectors to operate within agreed carbon limits. This builds on the burgeoning success the industry has already had with support of wider industry efforts, as we have witnessed with areas such as offshore wind O&M.
By advancing these technologies, the traditional energy sector can stay competitive in a changing landscape, attract new funding, and play a pivotal role in the transition to sustainable energy.
To facilitate this evolution, significant amounts of capital are required. While investments in energy are set to surpass $3 trillion annually in 2024, with two-thirds allocated to clean energy initiatives, Barclays Investment Bank estimates that the green transition will cost between $100–300 trillion between now and 2050. A substantial portion of this capital will be required to significantly diversify energy assets, yet the current rate of technological and policy advancements falls short of meeting global climate ambitions. The energy transition is now entering a phase marked by increased costs, complexity, and technological challenges.
The Energy Council for over two decades has championed an energy-agnostic strategy, advocating for the equitable use of all energy sources to address the energy trilemma. This approach supports the evolution from traditional operations to integrated, consumer-centric energy businesses. It is also an approach that supports a just transition, one that is advocated in developing markets crippled by energy shortages.
As we transition infrastructure and workforce skills from conventional oil and gas to innovative technologies, the Energy Council will continue to serve as the global network for senior energy leaders, investors, and financiers to forge strategic partnerships, facilitate capital deployment, and drive industry innovation. With increased vigour the Council will connect those driving energy investment strategies, with those asset owners seeking capital.
The 16th World Energy Capital Assembly (WECA) will once again bring global leaders to London to address the pressing societal challenges of our time. A central question is how to develop an energy system that is affordable, reliable, and equitable. Currently, the average price of an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle is approximately 12% lower than its electric vehicle (EV) counterpart, highlighting affordability concerns that extend beyond Africa and the developing world. Additionally, the UK is not on track to meet its target of a 68% reduction in emissions by 2030, despite significant capital investments, indicating that substantial efforts are still required.
This two-day conference and awards dinner will explore essential topics such as capital allocation, shareholder returns, and evolving market expectations. We’re looking forward to leveraging our network, and bringing you sessions which answers some of the sectors most pressing questions such as how do we mobilise capital for a low carbon energy transition or how to balance upstream, new energy and shareholder expectations. These discussions are set against the backdrop of an industry striving for both economic resilience and environmental stewardship.
As we embark on this transformative journey, the Energy Council is pleased to present a focused summary that delves into the evolving dynamics of the energy industry and its expanding horizons.

In the grip of a global energy crisis, the perception of the oil and gas has wavered from incongruent with climate goals to necessary to achieve them. In light of consumer price constraints, the prevailing thought is to call for increases to oil and gas production in the short-term to secure some energy cost relief. However, for the oil and gas sector to capitalise on this reprieve as primary climate offenders – there is a growing acceptance for their role in decarbonising energy processes, lowering their asset’s emissions profiles and reimagining the supply chain to support the energy transition. read more

The matrix of threats emerging from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine make it difficult to keep abreast of developments, whether these be the increase of global oil and gas prices, or the effect of sanctions, or which states could assist Russia in avoiding the impacts of sanctions, or how wheat prices will begin to soar. As most of us watch from the sidelines, trying to navigate how the markets will respond to these threats and how, in turn, that may affect our daily lives – we can be overwhelmed by the tsunami of information analyzing and predicting outcomes. read more
The broad macro effects of the Russo-Ukrainian War on oil and gas supplies upended the global energy markets, creating varied questions to the energy security of many nations. The most drastically affected have undoubtedly been the Ukrainians themselves, yet the over-reliance on Russian oil and gas supplies has led to a scramble for alternative supplies - most notably by European states. However, the constraints created by this market shock could provide the impetus to engage more constructively with low-carbon fuels, encourage investments into publicly-traded oil majors with net-zero strategies and hopefully, underscore the struggles of the 900 million people without access to electricity prior to the war. read more

Many doubts arise when considering investment into Upstream in 2022; will there be expanded restrictions on funds and financiers, or will there be a repeat of the demand slump in early 2021, or will OPEC+ utilize their reserves to shift the price point to one that suits their objectives best. Such uncertainties will often worry the generalist investor but for the energy specialist with experience of the oil and gas cycles, the near future looks far more enticing. read more

As winter’s cold touch spreads across Europe, there is an uneasiness about how the frigid temperatures will be weathered as gas prices creep ever higher. The source of uncertainty for Europe’s gas consumers is broad; the traditional push and pull of Russian-EU energy geopolitics is alive and well, Covid demand and supply contractions have created imbalances throughout the value chain, while the global production levels of oil and gas remain constrained by OPEC+ and the surging market prices. read more

Many of the household major oil and gas companies have begun shifting their market position to better prepare for the impending climate revolution. This energy supply shift has been imagined in several scenarios, which in essence are distilled to: our current path, our stated path and the necessary path needed to reach net-zero emissions. Inevitably, the stuttering and profiteering has led us to the brink and now we, as a global society, must rely on our ingenuity to restore the planet to a stable state.
Easier said than done, of course, however making this process possible is the integration of advanced digital technologies into robust, legacy mechanical technologies.
