The energy at Adipec Exhibition and Conference has been dynamic from the outset, with Simon Lyons speaking about international growth and diversification and Robbie Gaule and Patrick Shearer presenting at the EIC (Energy Industries Council) Contractor Briefing. Yesterday, Luigi Crolla shared engineering solutions for hydrogen usage to enable decarbonisation pathways, and Wassim Ghadban participated in a private roundtable table to discuss reinvention in the age of AI. We’re looking forward to today’s lineup, where Michael Deighton will discuss climate technologies to scale decarbonisation, David Dickinson will cover ensuring production efficiency and margin improvements, and Michael Czarnecki will tackle direct air capture in challenging climates. Wassim Ghadban will also discuss AI’s role in transforming our industry, and showcase our AI & digital engineering solutions at the Energy AI Conference. Tomorrow, John Gilley will address how to attract and retain talent in the energy industry. Find out the details of where and when we’ll be by visiting our website, or dropping by the Kent stand (8230) in hall 8.

🌍 Kent Inclusion Week wrapped up today, marking a powerful journey toward a more inclusive future. From October 21-25, our teams worldwide engaged in conversations, workshops, and webinars aimed at building a workplace where everyone feels valued and empowered. This year’s highlights included: 👉Happiness at Work: Cultivating a workplace where belonging and well-being fuel creativity. 👉The Kent Citizen Story: Launching our new Citizen Guide, supporting our people’s growth and collaboration. 👉Conscious Inclusion: Practical tools to recognise and challenge unconscious biases. 👉Wellbeing and Relaxation Techniques: Partnering with ComPsych to explore ways to manage stress and foster presence. 👉Authentic Allyship: Building actionable insights for supporting diverse perspectives and navigating differences. This week was a reminder that small actions—listening, connecting, learning—drive a more vibrant and supportive workplace for all.
As the UAE works toward its sustainability goals, carbon removal technologies like Direct Air Capture (DAC) are becoming more important to reduce emissions. However, in a region known for its hot, arid climate, implementing DAC comes with some unique challenges. This year, Mike Czarnecki will address these challenges at ADIPEC. He’ll discuss how DAC can thrive in the UAE by exploring solutions like water-saving techniques, renewable energy options, and ways to combat extreme heat and dust storms. Join us at ADIPEC to hear how we’re leading the energy transition. Be sure to visit Stand No. 8230 to meet our team and learn more about what we’re working on.
🌍At Kent, we understand that the energy transition is not just about technology—it’s about the people who innovate, implement, and drive the change needed to make a difference for our industry. As the demand for clean energy rises, so does the need for top talent to deliver it. Join our CEO, John Gilley, at ADIPEC 2024 as he takes part in the panel discussion, "Attracting and retaining the energy talent required to deliver the energy transition." He’ll explore the complex challenges of securing the right skills for the future energy system while retaining critical talent for traditional energy production.
