REFINERY OF THE YEAR

Which refinery on the European stage has taken your eye? Who is innovating enough to be recognized as a leader stage on the global stage?

CATALYST PRODUCER OF THE YEAR

Catalysts are at the heart of increasing output at minimal cost and improved efficiency. This award recognizes the producers of the latest technology in 2024/25.

ENERGY TRANSITION SOLUTION OF THE YEAR

Decarbonisation is essential for refining to have a role in the long-term energy mix. This award celebrates major transformation projects, revamping to produce new fuels such as green hydrogen or biofuels.

DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY OF THE YEAR

Celebrating the latest project and technologies is a must! Working with big data, artificial intelligence, and robotics will be at the core of the future refinery.

DOWNSTREAM EXECUTIVE OF THE YEAR

Which downstream executive has been in the headlines for all the good reasons this year? Who has embraced the challenges of the energy transition and led their business to success?

DO YOU HAVE THIS YEAR'S RISING STAR IN YOUR TEAM?

ERTC created Rising Stars to celebrate the brightest young talent in the refining industry. The shortlisted nominees benefit from the perfect opportunity to share their opinion directly with Europe's most senior downstream audience on this year's question.

If you were given the platform to change public perception of the refining industry, what narrative would you lead with – and why?
