Taking place from 11 to 15 October 2026 under the theme "Pathways to an Energy Future
for All," the Congress will be hosted in Saudi Arabia for the first time in its 
history. First held in London in 1933, the Congress will bring together government
leaders, industry executives, policymakers, researchers, and innovators in Riyadh
to examine the forces reshaping global energy systems, from security and investment
to technology and sustainability.

KAPSARC’s participation extends across the Congress’s Executive, Technical, Synergy,
and Special Programmes, alongside additional sessions and activities, reflecting
the breadth of the Center’s research and policy expertise. KAPSARC President Fahad
Alajlan and Dr. Ghadah Alarifi, Dean of the KAPSARC School of Public Policy, are
among KAPSARC’s speakers in the Executive Programme.

Across the Congress, KAPSARC experts contribute research and policy perspectives
on energy supply and demand, energy access, natural gas, ESG and governance, the
Circular Carbon Economy, artificial intelligence, mobility, and lower-emission pathways
for refining and petrochemicals.

Within the Special Programme, KAPSARC leads a Knowledge Sprint session titled "Generative
AI for Evidence-Based Oil Markets," examining how generative AI can support oil-
market analysis and policy research. The session explores AI-assisted data workflows,
econometric and scenario analysis, responsible AI practices, and the translation
of technical findings into decision-ready insights.

KAPSARC also participates in the World Café through a session on "Carbon Dioxide
Removal Technologies," bringing together experts, policymakers, and practitioners
to examine the prospects for scaling engineered carbon-removal solutions. The discussion
covers direct air capture, bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, and biochar,
alongside the economic, infrastructure, regulatory, carbon-market, and regional 
considerations influencing their deployment.

In the Synergy Programme, KAPSARC experts contribute to discussions on "Accelerating
the Circular Carbon Economy Through Joint Action" and "AI Partnerships for Energy
Innovation," bringing research-based perspectives to the intersection of energy,
technology, and sustainability.

KAPSARC’s dedicated pavilion provides another platform for knowledge exchange and
engagement throughout the Congress. Structured around five thematic hubs, the pavilion
brings together KAPSARC research, analytical tools, and expertise across the Oil
Hub, Transportation Hub, Clean Energy Hub, AI Hub, and Collaboration Hub. Together,
the hubs provide visitors with an integrated view of selected research areas and
emerging issues shaping energy systems, while creating opportunities for engagement
with policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and other Congress participants.

The pavilion also features the KAPSARC School of Public Policy (KSPP) and the Saudi
Energy Leaders Assembly (SELA), providing additional platforms for policy education,
leadership development, and knowledge exchange.

Through its participation across the Congress’s programmes and sessions, alongside
its dedicated thematic pavilion, KAPSARC connects Saudi-based research and policy
expertise with international discussions on energy security, investment, technology,
and sustainability.
