KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — After its successful 2022 debut, the biennial Petrochemical Sustainability Conference (PSC) will be back on Sep 26 and 27 to engage regional stakeholders to navigate a low carbon future.
The two-day conference will be held alongside Oil & Gas Asia, the largest B2B oil and gas event in Southeast Asia, once again at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC).

Global consulting firms, Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and Environmental Resource Management (ERM) are back again as knowledge partners.
PSC brings together industry producers, consumers, academics, policy-makers and other stakeholders from Malaysia and regional petrochemicals companies to discuss pathways and how the petrochemical value chain can support global net-zero goals through innovation and collaboration.
Maintaining the theme “Future Ready Petrochemicals, the conference targets 900 delegates from across the region for a bigger event this year.
PSC demonstrates MPA’s commitment to a more sustainable petrochemical sector and contributes to the ongoing efforts by industry players to improve their performance.
“The petrochemicals industry is essential to energy transition as it is a major enabler towards achieving our net zero ambitions. MPA recognises the importance of sustainability in driving long-term growth and competitiveness. Building on the success of the inaugural PSC 2022, we will continue to focus on the complexities of energy transition. The conference will be made very interactive and provide ample space and opportunities for stakeholders to exchange knowledge, address issues and network,” said Mr Shakeel Ahmad Khan, President of MPA.
The conference will consist over 20 sessions with 50 speakers from Malaysia and the region. They include a diverse range of experts in energy transition and climate change to share perspectives and discuss how to leverage challenges towards sustainability across the petrochemical supply chain.
