Gastech 2025 Conference Themes

Natural Gas & LNG: Amplifying the role of natural gas in delivering reliable, sustainable lower carbon energy

Natural gas and LNG offer a robust, lower-carbon and flexible source of energy that complements the intermittencies of renewables, supports a swift switch away from coal-fired power markets and acts as a stabilising force to mitigate the risks associated with a disorderly energy transition. Gastech will champion the ascendency of gas as a vital enabler of decarbonisation, bringing industry leaders together to advance the industry’s growth through new projects and markets.

Global Energy Economy: Capitalising on growth opportunities created by a transitioning global energy economy

Geopolitical changes show the need to balance short-term energy security with long-term decarbonisation. They also highlight the opportunity to improve energy access for the 18% of the world’s population still lacking it. This shift offers great potential for project development in the Global South. Gastech will gather global leaders to explore and promote growth in this time of change.

Artificial Intelligence: Optimising energy transformation through innovation

The rise in generative artificial intelligence technology is transforming all areas of society. It is reshaping traditional energy business models and increasing power demand rapidly. New cost models promise to make AI more accessible and encourage progress towards transition goals. Gastech will bring together the leading stakeholders at the forefront of AI to explore its impact on the global energy sector and wider society.

Finance & Investment: Mobilising and restructuring finance models to fast-track a next-generation global energy system

The cost of achieving Net Zero Scenario by 2050 is estimated at US $5tn annually. Most of this investment is needed in the Global South to meet growing energy needs. However, today’s investment levels are far below this target. Gastech will connect key project leaders with financiers and investors to align on the innovative funding mechanisms that will effectively channel capital to drive economic development and decarbonisation goals.

Partnerships & Collaboration: Uniting cross-sector and cross-border partnerships to advance a new, integrated energy ecosystem.

Collaboration between governments, the private sector, and industry is crucial for energy security, affordability, and sustainability in the new energy ecosystem. Effective decarbonisation will depend on strong industry partnerships that leverage collective expertise and experience that help turn breakthrough innovations into commercially viable solutions and drive progress toward net-zero goals.

Climate Technologies: Decarbonising the energy value chain with advanced climate technologies

The global climate technology market is expected to reach US $149.2bn by 2032, driven by the growing need to develop and deploy the tools that reduce greenhouse gas emissions at scale across the energy value chain. Gastech will help stakeholders align on ways to accelerate market maturity in sectors such as CCUS, DAC, nuclear and energy efficiency technologies; all of which are crucial in tackling global emissions’ challenges.

Hydrogen & Low Carbon Fuels: Unleashing the transformative power of hydrogen and low carbon fuels

Hydrogen and low carbon fuels like biomethane, are emerging as vital enablers of industrial decarbonisation, driven by supportive funding and policy mechanisms that are increasing the number of new low carbon fuel projects reaching FID.

At Gastech key industry stakeholders will explore new routes to creating cost-competitive markets for adoption of hydrogen and low carbon fuels in the global energy system.
