Energy & Natural Resources Summit: Americas 2023 | Wood Mackenzie | 10 October 2023 | Hotel ZaZa Memorial City, 9787 Katy Tollway, Houston, TX 77024

The Inflation Reduction Act, signed into law in August 2022, has transformed the outlook for all forms of low-carbon energy, from wind and solar to hydrogen and carbon capture, in the US. The EU and other economies have been responding with generous incentives to ensure they do not lose out in the international competition for investment.

How can American energy companies and investors best navigate this rapidly-changing landscape? What key markets, sectors, and technologies are set to succeed in the coming years and decades? What should we expect from key variables such as commodity prices, investment flows, and tax frameworks?

2023 Agenda highlights include:

• How geopolitics will shape energy and commodity markets
• What the pressure to cut emissions means for oil and gas
• How the Inflation Reduction Act is transforming low-carbon energy
• Investing in the refinery of the future
• The future of oil and gas in the energy transition
• Modernizing the grid to support electrification and clean energy at scale
• The new hydrogen industry: from vision to reality
• Will under-investment in oil and gas lead to shortages in the future?
