PETROCHEM CANADA•WEST 2023

Sustainability & Prosperity - Driving the Sector Forward

Alberta is Canada’s largest refining and petrochemical cluster. With the province's abundant feedstock and transportations systems, this sector is poised to continue growing. 

 

New and existing operators are taking advantage of Alberta’s energy resources and new government incentive programs to build new plants and expand operations, making Alberta the a world hotspot for petrochemical and refining investment and growth.

PetroChem Canada•West brings together the western Canadian petrochemical, chemical, emerging biochemical manufacturers together with their supply chain and multiple levels of government to discuss the opportunities to expand and further develop a sustainable downstream sector in Alberta.

 

Topics for 2023 include:

  • Net Zero – Planning and Implementing Strategies to Reach Net Zero Targets
  • Leveraging CCUS in Downstream Facilities
  • The Challenges and Opportunities of Developing Canada’s Downstream Sector, while Reaching Emission Reduction Targets
  • Trends for a Circular Economy
