According to the current EU policy, the energy sector must undergo a major transformation to eliminate its negative impact on the climate and natural environment by 2050. In the opinion of the European Commission, the implementation of the strategy should even expedite to reach a 90% net greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2040 compared to 1990 levels. At the same time, questions of how to ensure sustainable energy security and how to cope with further threats from geopolitical tensions remain pivotal for the entire EU. Importantly, rapid economic and political changes create increasingly demanding conditions for the energy sector and its important segment of the gas industry.

Therefore, the 27th GAZTERM Conference will address the most urgent challenge for the gas industry, which is to redefine its place and role in the emerging net-zero economic model.  

Domestic and international experts are invited to Międzyzdroje to discuss energy security, urgent transition, regional cooperation that fosters the development of infrastructure promoting transport and trade in gas, as well as technicalities, regulatory framework, and economic issues pertinent to decarbonization. The discussion will also tackle the role of natural gas as a transition fuel and the security of gas supply in the context of persistent geopolitical threats. Furthermore, the conference will assess the outlook for the LNG market, as well as regional cooperation designed to promote market convergence and cross-border trade in gas.

In similar fashion to the previous conference, panel discussions are going to focus on renewable gases, e.g. biomethane and hydrogen, as part of GREENGAZTERM. This conference module, among other things, will discuss current and future opportunities to integrate low-emission fuels into the existing gas network and the entire economy.

This year, we are going to promote our new initiative of CYBERGAZTERM, a side event that focuses on such important issues as cyber security and the future role of artificial intelligence (AI) in the transformation of the gas industry.

We are looking forward to seeing you on May 12-15, 2024, during the 27th GAZTERM Conference in Międzyzdroje, Poland, a conference which is an international platform for the gas industry to exchange knowledge and experience.
