Artificial intelligence is rapidly emerging as a critical enabler of the net-zero energy transition. From managing the inherent variability of clean energy sources to optimising traditional assets and orchestrating hybrid energy systems, AI is reshaping the entire energy ecosystem - from production and operations to market trading and government carbon regulation.

AI for Energy Transition Europe 2026 (#AIETE2026) taking place on March 11–12 in Rotterdam, Netherlands, is Europe's Only Event Dedicated to Accelerating AI-Powered Energy Transformation. Bringing together over 350 senior executives from energy producers, utilities, technology innovators, and ecosystem partners, the summit offers in-depth engagement across seven strategic AI application areas in energy transition, spotlighting scalable use cases, replicable business models, and investable AI solutions that fuel broad adoption and unlock measurable commercial value.

Co-located with Carbon Capture Europe Summit 2026 and Sustainable Fuels Global Summit 2026, this event anchors a comprehensive dialogue on digital and low-carbon innovation shaping Europe’s future energy ecosystem.

Key Themes & Topics

1. AI-Enabled Smart Grid Management

AI enhances the flexibility, reliability, and resilience of Europe’s complex power grids through precise renewable energy forecasting, real-time adjustment and balancing, and virtual power plant (VPP) coordination.

2. Optimizing Traditional Energy Assets with AI

In LNG terminals and refinery operations, AI enables predictive maintenance, asset health monitoring, and failure prevention, reducing downtime and elevating asset management intelligence.

3. AI for Hydrogen, Carbon Capture, and Sustainable Fuels

AI accelerates project design, process optimization, and MRV (Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) compliance, supporting the scale-up of green hydrogen, carbon capture, and synthetic fuels by improving efficiency, emissions tracking, and lifecycle performance.

4. AI-Driven Carbon Compliance and Regulatory Transparency

AI-based emissions monitoring, leak detection, and data analytics enhance transparency and compliance with the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), OGMP 2.0, and global carbon standards, driving verifiable, scalable, and investable decarbonization measures.

5. Enhancing Energy Market Trading with AI

Through price forecasting, automated bidding, flexible portfolio management, and risk analysis, AI provides competitive advantages in energy and carbon markets, enabling smarter trading decisions across multi-layered markets.

6. AI-Powered Digital Transformation in Energy Companies

Unlike traditional sectors, energy companies face unique challenges in monitoring, quantifying, forecasting, and managing assets. AI is deeply embedded across decision-making, operations, and corporate functions—from production optimization and digital twins to strategic planning—enabling transition from pilot projects to enterprise-wide deployment.

7. AI in Energy Investment and Financing

AI-powered energy projects are attracting growing capital market interest. Investors are reassessing the technology’s value and prospects, actively supporting deployment and injecting new data-driven, intelligent valuation logic into the energy transition.
