Turning the Key: From Liabilities to Opportunities
The leading event for NORM management at the nexus of energy, resources, and sustainability
Scale of the challenge and opportunity
Global environmental remediation market is projected to reach $142.17 billion in 2025, growing at 14.62% to $485.47 billion by 2034.
Radioactive site remediation alone is estimated at $14.22 billion in 2025, including NORM-related legacy mining and oil and gas operations.
Offshore decommissioning costs exceed $300 billion globally, with 5–15% attributed to NORM management—amounting to $5–45 million per project.
Industries generating NORM residues—mining, oil and gas, geothermal, fertilizers, and beyond—are under increasing pressure to improve resource efficiency, reduce waste, and align with circular economy principles.
Policy frameworks are evolving but remain fragmented, innovation is accelerating but unevenly distributed and stakeholder expectations are rising with increasing emphasis on ESG principles and transparency.
A unique and timely opportunity. Advancing global NORM management together.
Co-organised by the European NORM Association (ENA) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the conference will provide an authoritative and neutral platform that bridges policy, science, practical solutions to industry practice.
The conference aims to reposition NORM management within the broader strategic agenda of sustainability, circular economy, and resource security. By fostering a shared vision, it seeks to move beyond a compliance-driven narrative and create a constructive dialogue on how safe and responsible NORM management can unlock economic value, reduce long-term liabilities, and contribute to more resource-efficient industrial systems.
By bringing together key stakeholders from responsible sectors, the conference will promote the identification of viable pathways for beneficial use of NORM residues, stimulate innovation, and highlight investment opportunities along with safe management and disposal of NORM.
