Energy Transition

The purpose of the Energy Transition Committee is to monitor relevant news and research the different marketplaces for the benefit of IPLOCA’s members.

Roadmap:

• General: members of the committee will survey and provide insights on energy transition workstreams that could influence the pipeline industry within their respective regions.
• Throughout the year: relevant news will be posted on IPLOCA’s website. The IPLOCA Secretariat will determine whether any such news should be published in the quarterly newsletter. If specific issues related to regulations, technological developments, particular problems, etc. arise, the committee will evaluate the matter in order to assign the appropriate treatment.
• Annual IPLOCA Convention: The committee will present the current status of energy transition across different regions.

Workstreams:

• Carbon Capture, transportation and storage
• Hydrogen
• Ammonia
• Methanol
• SAF
• Eventual Others

The Energy Transition Committee is aligned with IPLOCA’s Innovation Committee and its Industry Influences Working Group, sharing relevant technologies and market trends.

Other common objectives include the following:

• The coordination of news and technical articles, communications, and events where appropriate to promote the objectives of the Committee
• To provide forums to engage, consult and influence major stakeholders
• To provide IPLOCA members with prospects to engage with stakeholders to investigate opportunities within the sector and provide means to introduce their services and innovations
• To engage with other organisations and develop alliances to support the Committee’s objectives
