CAPITALISING ON NEW ENERGY OPPORTUNITIES IN THE US
Thursday August 12, 2021,
15:00 – 16:30 (BST) / 09:00 – 10:30 (CST)
VIRTUAL EVENT – FREE REGISTRATION
The energy transition will need to harness an array of technologies with offshore wind, carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) and hydrogen all playing a central role.
These three industries, all at different stages of development in the US, each have their own merits and challenges. But the common thread, the drive to slash carbon emissions, means they will continue to attract substantial capital and create significant opportunities for the supply chain.
Energy Voice continues to lead the conversation on the global energy transition. Now, in association with Bracewell, a leading law firm renowned worldwide for its unique depth and experience in the energy sector, we are delighted to present a virtual event that zeroes in on new energy opportunities in the US market.
Scheduled for the week prior to OTC and the NAPE Summit, this event will set the agenda for the Houston conference season, where there will be huge attention on the disruptive capacity of these three transition industries.
Register today to hear from our expert panel on how offshore wind, CCUS and hydrogen are shaping the new US energy mix, and how to capitalise on the opportunities this transition presents.

Wind energy is not new to bp, we have a successful 1.7GW onshore wind energy business in the United States. Our partnership with Equinor secured 4GW of high-quality access in the US, the world’s fastest growing offshore wind market. And in the UK, with our strategic partner EnBW, we are the ‘preferred bidder’ for two high-quality leases in the Irish Sea for a further 3.3GW, enough to power 3.4million homes.

Air Liquide is a founder and co-chair of The Hydrogen Council. Launched during the 2017 World Economic Forum in Davos, The Hydrogen Council is a global initiative of more than 80 leading energy, transport and industry companies with a united vision and long-term ambition for hydrogen to foster the energy transition.
Visit Air Liquide websiteEquinor believes that the energy transition requires investment, innovation and a broad mix of energy sources, from low carbon gas and oil to wind and hydrogen, to assure reliable, affordable, sustainable energy. In our upstream business we are leveraging digitalisation and innovative technology to keep people safe, create value and reduce carbon emissions. We are linking hydrogen and carbon capture projects in two of the UK’s largest industrial clusters to shared CO2 storage in the UK North Sea. Three offshore wind farms are operated by Equinor in the UK, including the world’s first floating wind farm Hywind Scotland. We are also the operator of the world’s largest wind farm, Dogger Bank, and are planning to extend Dudgeon and Sheringham Shoal wind farms – doubling our offshore wind capacity off the coast of Norfolk. This broad energy company that we are building in the UK will need a diverse workforce to help create shared value, tackle the challenges and leverage the opportunities along the way.
