CONFERENCE

In 2022, we will be celebrating the 15th anniversary of the European Gas Conference (EGC) alongside our long-term host, OMV and Europe’s main supplier, Gazprom.

Perfectly timed at the beginning of the year, we will assess the impact of the 2021/22 winter for Eastern and Western European gas markets and promote gas’ role on the journey to net-zero.

We are also excited to announce the launch of an inaugural European Hydrogen Day, taking place alongside EGC in person this January. Find out more here.

DOWNLOAD OUR ADVISORY BOARD REPORT

At the end of June we held our annual European Gas Conference advisory board which gathered the leading faces in natural gas. This year’s meeting was set against the backdrop of a potential return to normality from the pandemic in Europe, worryingly low storage and the increasing pressure for the natural gas industry to decarbonise in order to remain a viable fuel source in the European Commission’s net-zero ambitions.

EUROPEAN HYDROGEN CONFERENCE

The European Hydrogen Conference is a platform to discuss how hydrogen will be integrated across the value chain through ministerial, industrial and technological collaboration.

EHC will take place alongside our European Gas Conference in person this January. We will be dedicating an entire day to Hydrogen after the success of our Virtual event this past June. 

Key themes to be explored on our Hydrogen Day include:

  • Identifying the latest hydrogen projects and sharing the successful examples of the roll-out of hydrogen cluster strategies
  • Delving into the regulatory and technological advances required to promote low-carbon and renewable hydrogen production
  • Promoting demand across the value chain and sharing how industry players have integrated hydrogen into their long-term GHG reduction strategies
