INDUSTRY TRENDS.
MARKET INSIGHTS.
STRATEGIC RELEVANCE.
Sustainability runs through PRC Europe as well as through the wider transformation of the downstream sector. As refining and petrochemicals adapt to new regulations, changing demand and the path towards Net Zero, frameworks such as Fit for 55 and CBAM are making decarbonisation, circularity and low-carbon project economics part of core business decisions.
PRC Europe gathers companies working on the practical side of this transition – from resilience and released decarbonisation projects to hydrogen, SAF, circular feedstocks and waste-to-value models. For our community, sustainability is not just a passing topic, but a serious long-term commitment.
Join the Congress to help move this 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.
