EMC, the Eastern Mediterranean Energy conference and exhibition taking place in Nicosia, Cyprus, from 10 to 12 November 2021, has confirmed that it will take place under the auspices of the Ministry for Energy, Commerce and Industry, Republic of Cyprus. With so many exciting new discoveries in the Eastern Mediterranean basin, the strategically located island of Cyprus is poised to become a sustainable gas, offshore and energy partner for its European partners.
The IEA – International Energy Agency – has once again confirmed that natural gas demand will continue to increase on a global level by nearly 15% by 2030, replacing coal and oil and complementing renewables as the world transitions towards a more sustainable and cleaner energy mix.
All of this puts EMC at the heart of regional energy transformation and brings together thousands of industry leaders and innovators to debate the industry's immediate future.
"Cyprus is fully committed to transitioning to a green, circular economy, leveraging on sustainability and the use of renewable energy sources to achieve long-term sustainable growth," Natasa Pilides, Minister for Energy, Commerce and Industry, Republic of Cyprus said. "Regional partnerships are key to achieving our mission, since it is only through collaboration with our neighbours and partners that we can lift Cyprus's energy isolation. This helps make the best possible use of our natural resources in a sustainable and responsible way, while also investing in skills and technologies of the future which can increase the competitiveness and attractiveness of our region as a whole."
