    The Russian invasion has highlighted the geopolitical fault lines that run through so many of the key markets for raw materials and the fragility of global supply chains. Senior figures in the industry will debate the impact the conflict in Ukraine is having on energy policy and commodity prices. Against this backdrop, the challenge to reach net zero remains. The recent power crunch in Europe and China has highlighted the fragility of the world’s energy system, forcing some of the assumptions around fossil fuels to be rapidly rethought. The crisis also has important lessons for the future, underscoring the importance of investing in new sources of supply. For commodity traders, this fast changing and complex backdrop offers both opportunities and challenges.

    Now in its 11th year FT Commodities Global Summit has established itself as the pre-eminent gathering of senior commodity executives, traders and financiers. 

    After a two year absence, the Summit returned in person to the Beau Rivage Hotel in Switzerland and will feature some of the biggest names speaking on the key issues currently facing the industry.


    Key discussion topics


    • Net zero targets have sapped investors’ willingness to put money into developing supplies of fossil fuels that could be largely

      obsolete in 30 years. But what does this lack of investment mean for the stability of the energy systems and what can be done to address it?

    • The unprecedented sanctions waged against Moscow in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine has brought the geopolitics of energy into sharper focus.

    • The energy transition and the growing focus on sustainability will fundamentally change the landscape for commodity traders but how should they adapt their business model to these new realities?

    • What will China’s shift away from a property-based model of economic growth mean for commodity markets and big producers? Can the energy transition and President Biden’s huge infrastructure programme pick up the slack from a slowing China? Are hopes of supercycle misplaced?

    • Could carbon trading overtake oil as the world’s most heavily traded commodity? What would need to happen for that forecast to be realised?

    • For decades, hydrogen has been hailed as a potentially revolutionary alternative to fossil fuels but has its time now arrived as policymakers throw their weight behind the gas?
