At PRC Europe 2026, conversations are held behind closed doors, in a setting where decision-
makers can speak openly about what truly shapes downstream today: tightening decarbonisation
goals, shifting markets and the growing need for cross-sector alignment. As the 10th anniversary
edition, the Congress brings together technology providers, refiners, contractors and energy
companies to share how they adapt operations, rethink strategies and build more resilient
business models.
As a closed-door platform, PRC Europe 2026 takes place on 18-19 May in Amsterdam, the
Netherlands to align on practical steps that drive downstream projects forward. Across two days,
participants join expert sessions, case-driven discussions and more than 300 targeted B2B
meetings – designed to connect 400+ professionals from Petrofac, Shell, Bayernoil
Raffineriegesellschaft GmbH, Evonik Operations GmbH and others.
The agenda focuses on circularity, sustainability and asset optimisation in practice, with speakers
sharing cases from refineries and technology sites across Europe and beyond. Their insights,
shaped by daily challenges, led to the reality of a plant or project site, where solutions emerge
step by step.
Featured sessions include:
- Jose de Barros, Chief Decarbonisation Officer at Lummus Technology: Sustainability and profit pathways in the energy transition era;
- Rosario Pistorio, Managing Director at Sonatrach Raffineria Italiana S.r.l.: The challenge of decarbonisation for a European refinery;
- Dan Carter, President, Technical Consulting and Decarbonisation at Wood: How to shape the role of downstream operators;
- Giacomo Rispoli, CEO at MYRECHEMICAL S.r.l.: Waste and biomass as a resource for maritime and aviation;
- Jens Wulff, Managing Director of Sales & Engineering at NEUMAN & ESSER
Deutschland GmbH & Co KG: Future fuels – the path to NetZero – with and without
Carbon.
During the Congress, curated B2B meetings offer a direct way to exchange ideas, evaluate
partnerships and explore next steps in project development. Many delegates note that these
meetings give them rare, unfiltered feedback and often spark collaborations that continue well
beyond the event.
After the first day of agenda, the Gala Dinner adds another dimension: along with local cuisine
and house wines, it offers space to continue networking and strengthen new business relations.
Entertainment and surprises are prepared for all participants of the 10th anniversary edition.
PRC Europe 2026 stands as an essential meeting point for downstream professionals navigating
complexity with strategic focus. What stays with delegates is the sense of being part of a
community that faces similar challenges and is willing to share real lessons learned.
