LONDON

Canada UK Energy Summit

October 2026
One Whitehall Place

The 15^th annual Canada UK Energy Summit will examine how the two countries can deepen commercial, technological and political cooperation on CCUS and industrial decarbonization.

The 2026 Summit will be set against a background of ongoing geopolitical disruption. Donald Trump’s trade war is disrupting an international order that has been in place since the end of WWII. In this new order, countries are scrambling to secure reliable, long-term supplies of resources, technologies and expertise into their energy systems and manufacturing supply chains.

The Canada UK Energy Summit will explore how Canada and the UK can work together to address these key issues and strengthen transatlantic relations. The Summit will cover the following topics:

The UK Canada energy relationship
Industrial decarbonization, CCUS and hydrogen
The energy and industrial manufacturing supply chain
Investor perspectives on industrial decarbonization

Trade Mission

An aim of the Canada UK Energy Summit is to provide a forum for generating opportunities for Canadian firms and exporters in the UK market, and profiling commercial/investment opportunities in Canada. In partnership with the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office, the Canada UK Energy Summit will include a mission of Canadian companies who are active in the energy and carbon mitigation sectors.

As part of this trade mission, a delegation will have the opportunity to visit a UK industrial cluster where CCUS and hydrogen projects are currently being deployed.

Why attend?

Hear from sector leaders on developments in the UK, Canadian and North Atlantic markets.
Learn about investment and commercial opportunities, including for projects, emerging technologies and applications.
Explore collaboration on industrial decarbonization with a goal of improved commercial and policy alignment.
Access dedicated networking sessions and site visits.

Background

The Canada UK Energy Summit was founded in 2011 to advance transatlantic commercial and policy cooperation. The Summit includes participation from industry, finance and government from Canada, the UK and globally.

Draft Programme

One Whitehall Place, London
– October 2026 –

MC	Jason Langrish, President, The Energy Roundtable

2:00 pm	Opening remarks
2:10 pm	Industrial decarbonization and CCUS: The Canadian and British approaches and collaboration. Industry and government are working to advance the development of new energy technologies in efforts to decarbonize industrial activities. This includes hydrogen and supporting technologies and infrastructure projects, such as CCUS, clean electrification and clean fuels that will be essential for decarbonizing industrial sectors. The scale of the transformation is unrecognizable to what was happening only a few years ago. Panelists will discuss the frameworks and technologies that are facilitating the transition to a low carbon industrial economy, including initiatives to expand Canada UK cooperation and enhance energy security. Speakers tbc
2:50 pm	Industrial Decarbonization: A review of major projects and commercial opportunities. Strengthened climate goals and investment incentives are delivering unprecedented momentum for CCUS. Capture, storage and removal technologies will play an important role in meeting emissions targets, including as one of few solutions to tackle emissions from heavy industry and to remove carbon from the atmosphere. Furthermore, CCUS offers compelling avenues for the production of hydrogen and clean fuels. The panel will discuss how these technologies and specific projects are being advanced in Canada and the UK and explore the potential for broader collaboration between the two territories. Speakers tbc Chair: tbc
3:30 pm	Networking break
3:55 pm	Keynote address Speaker tbc
4:20 pm	Industrial decarbonization catalysts: Hydrogen and sustainable fuels. Electrification – clean power – provides a near-term pathway for emissions reductions in many sectors including transport and the built environment. But decarbonizing through switching to low carbon fuels, including clean hydrogen, sustainable biofuels and carbon capture and storage is expected to play a critical role in ‘hard-to-decarbonize’ sectors such as heavy industry and medium- and heavy-duty freight. Even in scenarios with ambitious electrification, it is estimated that more than half of energy demand in 2050 may need to be met with clean fuels and carbon capture to meet a net-zero goal. The panel will examine how hydrogen, sustainable fuels and carbon capture projects co-exist and evolve at scale in industrial ecosystems in Canada and the UK and their nexus with the broader low-carbon fuel sector. Speakers tbc Chair: tbc
5:00 pm	Innovators session. Canadian entrepreneurs will discuss how their energy technology solutions are solving real world business problems in the energy, critical minerals, metals and battery sectors. Speakers tbc Chair: tbc
5:40 pm	Close

6:00 pm	Networking reception
