Summit Day
Limited demand upside, comfortable supplies and geopolitical uncertainty indicated that the market will not be as bullish for global LNG as we thought. Get an unparallel view on the ultimate fate of LNG -if lower prices will pull gas towards Asia and how much of it would be left for Europe and landlocked countries
- What factors impact investment decision?
- USA projects: permits, export pause, FIDs
- Which of the non-US projects are likely to reach FID over the next 2-3 years?
There are expectations of significant surpluses starting in 2027 but delays to planned projects mean surpluses will be much smaller. Could these uncertainties deter international buyers from committing to new long-term projects and contracts
Get insight on the USA’s position on exports and its prospects for continued growth. How do U.S. plans fit with market requirements, including global LNG demand prospects and market desire for lower-emission LNG? How much U.S. LNG will make its way to Europe?
The German energy transition plans have been praised as exemplary models for climate action. However, plans for the construction of new LNG import terminals are inconsistent with the climate targets, which require a reduction rather than expansion of natural gas consumption. In this session, we will address if these projects are strongly oversized, will there be enough LNG imports and realistically, by when will they be ready to receive new molecules?
- How they see utilisation of natural gas beyond 2040?
- How infrastructure could be utilised more efficiently?
- German vision 2045 - Should deadline be extended?
- When will they be able to receive more imports in the future?
European gas prices have become increasingly volatile as the region’s dependence on LNG supplies grows. Last summer, the market flipped from bearish to bullish as hot weather exposed the market’s tightness heading into the winter. As the summer 2025 injection season gets underway and new North American liquefaction capacity ramps up, will the balance ease again or is Europe still exposed to further volatility?
In this session, we will look at the need of current surge of regas capacity expansions in response to the crisis along with market and commercial value drivers which influence the decision to buy more regas capacity.
- How can we commercialise and what would be the future choice – Is it synthetic fuels, biomethane, blue or green H2?
- Reducing emissions and deploying robust MRV system along LNG supply chain
- How do we decarbonise the industry through use of advancements in CCS and blue hydrogen technologies?
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.
If investors sway away from investing into LNG projects, there will be no gas beyond 2030. This session covers an investor perspective on project finance, due diligence, tenure, nature of contracts, technology, and other pre-qualifiers considered before an investment.
