The Call for papers is now closed

Papers are now being peer-reviewed by the Gastech Governing Body, and successful speakers will be notified at the end of April 2024.

 

The Gastech Technical and Commercial conferences are critical platforms for tomorrow’s pioneers and pathfinders, showcasing the groundbreaking innovations and inspiring visions that can accelerate climate action and deliver a transition to a more sustainable tomorrow.

The Gastech Call for papers offers professionals working across the energy value chain – from technical and scientific experts to executives and policymakers - the opportunity to submit insightful and evidence-based papers that will be showcased at Gastech.

The Technical conference will be a window to a greener future, showing the trailblazing technology, the revelatory research and the tangible application of evolving policies in all natural gas, LNG, hydrogen, low- carbon solutions, and climate technologies.

The Commercial conference sets out a forum for executives and company leaders to share their practical visions of how the energy industry will become what the world needs it to be.

Both programs are open to conference delegates.

Natural Gas and LNG are often talked about as bridging fuels. Well, that bridge has gotten longer. There is no linear solution that will lead to a binary transition. Good projects need to be stood up and supported by financiers. We’ve grown the program by about 25% since the pre-pandemic conferences, and what we have brought with that is a lot more diversity in terms of profile and debate.

Emission reductions often come from technologies which are not yet market-ready; policies are therefore an essential tool to support R&D and reduce financial risks associated with the development of these new technologies.

Gastech returns to Houston in September 2024 in a period of unprecedented LNG and alternative fuel growth in the US and globally. Gastech captures all aspects of the energy transition under one roof in multiple specialized theatres integrated into the world beating exhibition. I have been involved in Gastech as a speaker, moderator, Governing Body member, and co-Chair for the past twenty plus years and have experienced the expansion and extension of our industry into strategies and technical advancement that we could not have envisaged. Gastech has been the catalyst for much of this incredible expansion.
