Gastech 2026 Impact Report

Energy demand is becoming more complex, driven by economic growth, industrialisation, electrification, AI and data centres. As new demand centres emerge faster than traditional infrastructure can respond, the energy industry faces a growing need to expand capacity while improving flexibility, resilience and reliability.

Collaboration between governments and industry is essential to unlocking the investment, infrastructure and energy systems needed to keep pace with rapidly growing demand.

Asia’s population growth, industrialisation and rising prosperity are driving demand, placing the region at the centre of future energy investment and infrastructure development.

As energy systems become more complex, LNG is increasingly valued for its ability to provide reliable, flexible supply, balancing changing demand while supporting energy security and resilience.

Rapid growth in AI, data centres and electrification is accelerating power demand, making reliable grids, transmission and infrastructure investment critical to meeting future energy needs.
