APPEC to focus on Asia's energy resilience and vulnerability in a fragmented market

Energy markets are once again being tested by geopolitics. With fragile shipping routes and shifting trade patterns, energy security has returned to the top of the agenda. As the industry prepares for APPEC 2026, hosted by S&P Global Energy, the focus is no longer just on market access but on securing reliable, long-term energy supplies. Asia remains the center of gravity for global energy demand, yet its priorities are evolving. The industry's biggest questions are: Where will reliable energy come from? How will trade flows shift? And how can the region balance growth with decarbonization?

In this episode of the Platts Oil Markets Podcast, Sambit Mohanty, Asia energy editor, is joined by Vera Blei, head of Platts, Debangsu Ray, cluster president and head of Reliance Industries Ltd.'s Jamnagar refinery, and Calvin Lee, head of Asia content. They discuss the key themes that will be in focus at the conference, scheduled to take place in Singapore over Sept. 7-10.
