Agenda
- Which is likely to progress closer and faster - Biomethane vs nuclear vs renewables vs electrification
- Can hydrogen join the race?
- How can we get things right – Is it tech or investment issue?
- Will future governments proceed with the nuclear energy strategy?
- Is it realistic that natural gas will be phased out by 2050?
- What is CCS role in meeting these targets?
- Artūras Bortkevičius - CEO and Chairman of the Board, UAB Ignitis
- Paulius Butkus - Head of Group Development and Innovation, EPSO-G
- Aivars Starikovs - Advisor to the CEO for Central and Eastern Europe countries, Hydrogen Europe
- Linas Baužys - CEO, Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant (IAE)
By 2050, renewable and low-carbon gases will replace natural gas, and adopt a role of integrating the electricity & gas sectors, providing more flexibility within the energy systems. What is each country doing to progress towards decarbonisation, in this session you will get an understanding about strategies of Lithuania, principles for repurposing for cleaner fuels, deploying CCS and reduction of overall emissions.

Learn about PRF Gas Solutions offerings in natural gas regasification plants and refuelling stations as well as their hydrogen refuelling stations (portable solutions and fixed solutions), injection in the natural gas network and other industry projects.
The critical need for storage, to buffer against supply disruption, address supply and demand mismatch, and take advantage of price fluctuations will continue to grow. This session will highlight the role, importance of molecular energy storage (like hydrogen and its derivatives) in addition to batteries for a future clean energy system.
- Sven Parkel - General Manager, Estonian Hydrogen Cluster
We invite you to take a closer look at Klaipėda LNG terminal and FSRU Independence! During the sightseeing trip we will take a boat through the Klaipėda seaport to the Klaipėda LNG terminal, where the history and activities of Klaipėda LNG terminal will be presented by the KN representatives. During the 2 hour-long site trip you will not only see one of the most important guarantors of Lithuania's and the region's energy security up close, but you will also have the opportunity to take photos in the background of the LNG terminal and have a pleasant networking on the boat with the other participants of the forum.
