PANEL SESSION 4:
"ENSURING A VIBRANT & SUSTAINABLE FUTURE GAS INDUSTRY"
Developing countries are continuously challenged to balance energy trilemma, where energy security and affordability remains high in their priorities. Peer pressure are driving more countries to embrace the commitment of net zero emission (NZE) and invest on accelerating clean alternative energy. How can developing countries address their priorities but still remain on the clean energy transition pathway? Will natural gas still remain relevant in providing future energy access and security?
This panel aim to deliberate the future role of natural gas and how it can support and complement growth of emerging gases such as hydrogen, bio-methane, ammonia, etc.
