With a developed system for ensuring long term sustainable development, economic competitiveness and maintaining low-cost energy, learn from KN Energies about their long-term strategy for diversification and smooth energy transition.

Lithuania aims be transformed into an energy exporter and a significant supplier of gas and electricity by 2050. Gain insight into how government’s strategy on forward planning for production, network development, and their strong connections with other European and global markets, will help achieve vision 2050.

Realising that existing and future gas supplies might exceed European needs or impact consumer spend due to price volatility, will gas & LNG find its way to existing customers and how are suppliers recruiting new customers?

We take a deep dive into the global gas and LNG supply outlook and discuss whether it will remain mostly flat. We are seeing a year-on-year weakening of demand in Europe, but what are the influences on global demand especially from Asia; and lastly how is the new Trump administration impacting global trade?

• If there will be no demand recovery, do we still need more supplies and more storage capacity?
• How can the infrastructure be utilised more efficiently?
• Will we be able to receive more imports in the future?
• What capacities are available for trading?
• Will there be imports of new fuels like biomethane or synthetic fuels?

• Reliability of the networks and challenges until the final synchronisation
• Support for the ambitious development of renewable electricity
• Addressing bottlenecks and streamlining processes between terminals and TSOs.
• What are the investments, planning and cooperation required in the region?
• How can price competitiveness be ensured?
• How much of excess will be traded?

• How will global competition, strong Asia demand and the developing US-Asia trading relations fluctuate charter rates?
• Which a technological advancement in LNG carriers such are going to impact future trends and how?
• How are you balancing long-term charter contracts with spot market exposure in the current market conditions?
• What strategies are you employing to capture market share in key growth regions, particularly in Asia?
• Are you seeing the alternative energy sources impacting the long-term LNG demand and how?

How is the engineering evolving to meet the potential market needs in areas of H2, LNG, other liquid or compressed energy carriers or CCS. We will also cover how the same cryogenic products and very similar supply chains are poised to deliver hydrogen at scale and how cryogenic technology is at the heart of the carbon capture process that focuses on difficult to abate industries can also go beyond sequestration providing captured, purified and recycled carbon dioxide as a usable commodity.

• What are EU efforts in decreasing dependency on Russian energy supplies?
• Where are we with the transit contract and sanctions? 
• How can we utilise capacities of underground storage and ramp up alternative fuel production?

An overview on the liquefaction process for small, micro and nano scale along with cost & benefit analysis with economic impact on the LNG price. Insights into case study of the small-scale plant located in Germany of 140 TPD.

• Impact of Chinese demand on global prices - TTF vs JKM
• Spot vs contracted LNG in Europe - Tenure, nature, indexation and prices negotiations
• Is joint purchasing of gas working?
• Impact on new methane regulations on imports

For years, the transition to clean energy has been a cornerstone of Europe’s government policies, embodied in the bold ambition to become carbon neutral by 2050. Balancing ambitious decarbonisation goals with the need for a reliable energy supply requires a dual approach: Expanding new energy sources while ensuring a stable gas supply. This underscores gas's crucial role in maintaining energy system stability during the transition. However, factors such as EU regulations, elections, and volatile gas flows have created challenges, including price inflexibility, the risk of deindustrialisation, and market distortions.
