ENERGY TRANSITION HAZARDS IN MOTION

Our upcoming 2-Day Technical Meeting will cover 'Energy Transition Hazards in Motion' and be held on Wednesday 9th & Thursday 10th September 2026 in London, UK and via Webcast. As usual, FABIG Members will have the option to follow the face-to-face event via live online Webcast. Delegates attending the event in person will be able to enjoy an evening drinks reception, which will be held at the end of Day 1. We will close Day 2 in the middle of the afternoon to allow delegates to travel back home in the evening.

This Technical Meeting will address the management of hazards arising from the transport of the substances set to play a key role in the energy transition as well as the use of new energy sources for vehicle propulsion. The programme comprises several presentations disseminating the findings from ongoing and recent research projects, including ARISE, SafeAm, ROAD THRYP, FutureGrid, Skylark, and more. The morning of Day 1 of the Technical Meeting will be dedicated to the ARISE Joint Industry Project, and the event schedule will be confirmed shortly.
