Sustainability has always been the dominant theme throughout PRC Europe. Aiming towards creating a more resource-efficient future for the Downstream, we gather companies that actively implement net-zero approaches in their operations. At PRC Europe industry leaders will present and discuss the latest Downstream projects for circular economy, plastic recycling, usage of clean hydrogen, co-processing of renewable feeds, alternative transportation fuels, and more.
We believe that our everyday contribution to eco-friendly practices helps transform the energy world. Join the congress to move the transformation forward.
Speakers 2026
The Project Director and Project Committee evaluate each topic and the expertise of each speaker. It is done to attract the active downstream specialists from oil majors, EPCs, refineries/petrochemical plants, licensors, chemical companies and leading service providers with equipment manufacturers, whose case studies cover the ongoing, existing and planned petrochemical and refining projects. The Business Programme of PRC Europe is focused on quality, not yet presented case studies and expertised downstream specialists.
