The third day of ADIPEC 2024 has concluded, with the vital role of emerging talent in driving sustainable progress in the energy sector emerging as a key theme. This year’s event saw a surge in young voices worldwide, bridging generational perspectives to advance the global energy transition. In an inspiring Youth Talk, Rashed Alneyadi, Growth and New Energies Manager at Mubadala Energy, shared his motivation: “When I was younger, I wanted to work in an industry that allowed me to make an impact. Everything relies on energy - from your phone to your house; you need energy for everything. In the energy sector, everyone can make a difference.” The Methane Abatement Challenge further highlighted the contributions of young innovators, with UAE students presenting award-winning solutions, including catalytic combustion retrofits, methane-trapping filters and satellite-based detection systems to reduce emissions. ADIPEC's inaugural Finance & Investment Conference tackling the need for accessible, affordable capital to ensure a fair energy transition, with Gurbuz Gonul, Director of Country Engagement and Partnerships at International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), noting: “Regional discrepancies in funding energy transition projects pose significant challenges. Developing countries face tougher financing terms, undermining technology deployment. While governments should create favourable investment environments, we must also provide better financing terms to bridge this gap.” Sessions today also explored pivotal topics in the energy landscape, including hydrogen’s role as a clean fuel and strategies to decarbonise heavy-emitting industries. Experts discussed new technologies and collaborations that could accelerate progress toward net-zero emissions, reinforcing ADIPEC’s role as a hub for pioneering solutions to global energy challenges. As ADIPEC 2024 approaches its final day tomorrow, attendees can expect further insights and actionable strategies to drive innovation, investment and collaboration in the energy sector for years to come.
