The transformation of arbitration within the energy industry: from Oil & Gas to Renewables

Arbitration has long been established as the chosen dispute resolution mechanism of the oil and gas industry and, thus, has played a crucial role in the development and consolidation of the practices, uses and customs that currently rule and inform investment and commercial relationships between public and private actors in the industry worldwide. At the same time, particularly after the 2020 pandemic, the world has faced an exponential growth of investment in renewable energy, prompted mainly from the need to decarbonize the global economy, which naturally leads to an increase in arbitrations over such investments. The areas of intersection and divergence between both sectors, i.e., oil & gas and renewables, are equally broad. This panel will address, from a practical approach, the similarities and differences from procedural and substantive terms of arbitration in each of these sectors.

Speakers:

• Fabricio Zalusk, Energy Sector Executive, Rio de Janeiro
• Marcela Verissimo, Legal Manager, TotalEnergies, Rio de Janeiro
• Lucas Barreto Ribeiro, Chief of Staff to the Presidency, PPSA, Niterói
• Hannah Tung, Coordinator of the Legal and Audit Department, CGN Brazil Energy, São Paulo
