Read our CERAWeek 2026 Brief
The new energy era is here—but success depends on how projects are designed for delivery. From grid modernization and FLNG to industrial water and AI, we share key CERAWeek insights on building resilient, executable energy systems in an increasingly complex global market.
Meeting demand
The demand and supply gap creates a need for advanced planning, collaboration and coordination. "I think the industry is going through a major shift here today," -Narsingh Chaudary, President- Fuels & Natural Resources
Grid modernization
"We are all looking around this problem slightly differently, but we all agree that there's a huge amount of necessity to modernize and orchestrate [the grid] at a higher level of effectiveness," -Charlie Sanchez, President- Infrastructure Advisory
Industrial water
"We've just begun starting to talk about the role that water plays in the energy industry, energy production and the whole supply chain," - Heather Cheslek, Associate VP & Global Industrial Water Solution Leader
Sustainable innovation
The "yes, and" approach to meeting demand includes investment in fossil energy for reliability, speed and economic availability, but investment in renewable and low carbon energy is continuing and surpassing," Deepa Poduval, Chief Sustainability Officer
Impact of data
Digital innovation and optimization is transforming infrastructure and opportunity. "You're hearing data here, there and everywhere," - Matt Kasten, Strategy & Operations Director
See you at next year's CERAWeek conference
CERAWeek is built for real collaboration. Executives, CEOs and technical leaders meet through panels, roundtables and smaller session formats to compare approaches, align on timelines and move from ambition to execution. Each day creates time for organizations to address challenges together — permitting, workforce constraints, and resilient design in a changing climate — while sharing insights on project delivery and management. The result is more coordinated decision-making on high-priority investments as markets shift and demand continues to evolve. Come to us with your most complex infrastructure problem. We’ll meet you with more than 100 years of global energy experience.
