Many countries and industries are taking steps to combat climate change, to protect the environment and to find alternative and greener sources of energy. The chemical industry has a crucial role to play in this transition, as it is a key player in enabling sustainable development.
The aim of this international conference is to bring nuance to the energy debate and to get a multidimensional and multidisciplinary view on the applicability of different energy sources in different aspects of transport, warehousing and value-added services within different timeframes.
Join us, hear and meet industry leaders and decision makers, and get expert insights into the energy transition in logistics.
