Molecule Forum brings together leaders from sustainable fuels, chemicals and materials industries to discuss the barriers that are preventing cross-sector and international energy deals and market acceleration.

Morning presentations explore specific barriers and offer tangible solutions and recommendations. Afternoon roundtables invite all Forum Delegates to engage in constructive dialogue about how to open new market opportunity.

Networking space is created at an evening reception to begin the event, ample coffee and lunch breaks, and a reception at the conclusion of the program.

CONCEPT

Energy security is at the forefront of international policy headlines. With a renewed focus on traditional energy resources, the demand for drop-in fuels, chemicals and materials to achieve emission reductions and long-term sustainability will depend on industry’s ability to make a compelling business case that compliments its strong environmental profile. Where barriers exist, we must articulate impediments with specificity and offer tangible solutions.

In December 2023, COP28 emphasized the urgency of transitioning to net-zero emissions by mid-century, highlighting the need for low-carbon fuels in energy systems. In April 2024, G7 Climate, Energy and Environment Ministers committed to policies that promote demand for low-emission materials like steel, cement, and chemicals.

In November 2025, Brazil hosts COP30. Under the leadership of the Brazilian Presidency, with support from Italy, The Netherlands, Canada and others, COP30 has the potential to be the “most molecular COP ever.”  A global shift towards sustainable fuels, chemicals, and materials is vital for meeting climate goals. Momentum is building, but industry must drive the outcome.

Molecule Forums and Workshops convene industry stakeholders to map a plan for advancing shared priorities at global forums like the G7, G20, and COP30. By working toward scalable solutions across borders and energy sectors, your participation helps take aim at tangible outcomes that accelerate the growth of sustainable fuels, chemicals and materials and removes barriers to new market opportunity.
