At the CERAWeek conference, energy industry leaders emphasized the continued reliance on fossil fuels while also highlighting efforts to offset emissions. Executives stressed the growing demand for energy, particularly due to the increasing need for computing power, framing it as an "energy addition" rather than a transition. The industry's pushback against the energy transition has gained momentum, with ExxonMobil CEO Darren Woods emphasizing the global need for oil and gas. Despite efforts in emission offsetting projects, such as carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration, their financial viability remains uncertain, reinforcing the message that oil and gas will continue to dominate global demand and industry profits.

Top oil executives and ministers gather in Houston for the CERAWeek energy conference, buoyed by stable oil prices and blockbuster mergers.

The conference will address global energy outlook, LNG developments, U.S. climate policies, and the role of AI in energy production. Climate concerns are reflected in sessions on carbon sequestration and hydrogen fuels, while the growing issue of consumer willingness to pay for clean fuels and ROI for energy companies is also discussed. Notably absent are top oil ministers from OPEC countries, and the conference also focuses on the impact of recent acquisitions on U.S. shale production.
