What is the outlook for the energy industry as it evolves in the face of economic, environmental and market pressures, and what does it mean for investors?

Confrontation across the Middle East Gulf, carnage in Syria, oil-led industrial revolution in North America, stagnating nuclear output, and a crisis of confidence in renewables have left the world’s energy industry in turmoil. Will war stop exports from the biggest oil producers? Will new shale oil and gas reserves meet the world’s fuel needs – or cook the Earth’s atmosphere forever? Will economic depression mean permanent decline for Western energy demand and the death of the European refining industry?

Reuters Global Energy and Environment Summit 2012 will host dozens of decision-makers in the energy and climate businesses to discuss the key questions facing the 21st century. The head of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), leading global industrialists, top energy traders and regulators will discuss how the energy industry is evolving in face of economic, environmental and market pressures.

Some key interviews will air live exclusively on Reuters Insider - our multimedia platform delivering relevant news, analysis and trade ideas.
