The 4th edition of Gas Lecture Series of 2021 began with the Opening Remarks by the H.E Yury Sentyurin, Secretary General of Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) highlighting the important platform GECF providing through its Gas Lecture Series for the industry players to communicate the important role of natural gas play in the energy transition.  The Webinar then continued with the main agenda, Gas Lecture Series by MGA President and followed by the Moderated Panel Questions.

  1. Gas driving Socio-Economic Growth
  2. MGA’s role in Shaping National Policy
  3. Natural Gas Roadmap to Future Proof Industry
  4. Future Opportunities for gas in Malaysia

Below are the main key takeaways concluded by Hazli Sham Kassim from his Gas Lecture.

  1. A clear and comprehensive National Energy Policy, supported by a vibrant gas industry, is vital for Malaysia’s economic growth and energy transition
  2. The Natural Gas Roadmap sets path towards a vibrant and sustainable gas industry by ensuring security of supply, healthy demand, spurring investments and positioning gas to address energy trilemma.
  3. As the lead advocate, MGA will continue to play a proactive and collaborative role to support realise national energy aspirations.

“By joining and having an Association like Malaysian Gas Association in the gas industry,  I think we can be under one umbrella, speak with one voice and standing with respect in front of policymakers for the benefits of the gas industry across the value chain.  Without MGA, it could be chaotic and difficult for the gas industry to speak out and engage decision-makers”, MGA President responded to a question on how the gas industry will look like without the existence of MGA.
