About the Conference
The Downstream Technology Conference (DTC 2025) serves as a premier platform for the refining, petrochemical, and chemical industries to explore cutting-edge technologies, strategic developments, and sustainable pathways for the future. With India emerging as a global hub for downstream investments, this conference highlights the crucial role of technology in driving efficiency, integration, and decarbonization across refineries and petrochemical complexes.
The conference brings together industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, and technology providers to deliberate on key themes including refinery–petrochemical integration, next-generation process and catalyst innovations, energy efficiency, carbon capture and utilization (CCUS), hydrogen, biofuels, e-fuels, digital transformation, asset integrity, gas treating, sulphur recovery, and industrial waste-to-energy solutions.
As the energy sector transitions towards low-carbon operations, downstream facilities must adapt to remain competitive and sustainable. This conference offers valuable insights into emerging fuels, circular economy models, and advanced digital tools, enabling stakeholders to navigate challenges while capitalizing on new opportunities. By fostering collaboration, knowledge exchange, and technology adoption, the Downstream Technology Conference strengthens India’s position in the global energy transition and ensures that the downstream sector remains future-ready.
