The IUCN World Conservation Congress is the world's largest conservation gathering. The 2025 edition brought together over 10,000 nature conservation experts, leaders and decision-makers from around the world in Abu Dhabi from 9 to 15 October.
The fact sheet highlights the role of carbon capture and storage (CCS) in the energy transition, how the oil and gas industry can support uptake of CCS technologies, case studies from Ipieca members, and looks ahead to how Ipieca will support future progress.
Collaboration was central to our activities this quarter, including publishing a joint IUCN-Ipieca guidance on co-use opportunities in wind and solar, signing a Memorandum of Cooperation with the ASEAN Council on Petroleum and Energy, and co-hosting a series of webinars with other industry associations, which reached over 2,600 participants.
Ipieca, in collaboration with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), is launching a new compendium to explore co-use opportunities in solar and wind energy projects to serve as a practical resource for energy sector professionals.
September has seen a number of low-carbon fuels announcements, with various initiatives from Ipieca members Moeve, OMV, PETRONAS and Shell as well as stakeholders IRENA and ICAO, aiming to provide alternative fuels to support the decarbonisation of shipping or aviation.
One of Ipieca’s core roles is to support UN conventions and agreements. We provide technical input when requested, raise awareness and support, and develop good practice guidance that enables the oil, gas and alternative energy industry to advance these global frameworks.
