Global Energy Event Highlights CEO Participation from Equinor and TotalEnergies
The energy world is about to witness a significant milestone with the hosting of ROG.e, recognized as one of the leading global events in the sector. This gathering, critical for the future of energy, will be graced by the presence of Anders Opedal and Patrick Pouyanné, CEOs of Norway’s Equinor and France’s TotalEnergies, respectively. They will be in Rio de Janeiro, participating in the Strategic Talks hosted by the Brazilian Institute of Oil and Gas (IBP) from September 23 to 26, 2024.
The event will not only serve as a platform for high-level discussions but also as a convergence point for innovative ideas and sustainable solutions. The ROG.e is a space where the global economy, the energy sector, and society come together to discuss and shape the future.
Thematic Axes and Strategic Dialogues
The agenda of ROG.e is filled with themes that resonate with the challenges and opportunities of the present. Low Carbon Solutions, People, Culture, and the Financeability of the Transition are some of the thematic axes that will shape the discussions. Additionally, the event will provide a platform for leaders and authorities to discuss the future pathways of the oil and gas sector, new renewable matrices, and the journey towards net zero by 2050.
