We are delighted to introduce to you our latest report, "Introduction to Low Carbon Gas Technologies"! 🔊 Aligned to IGU’s support of the Paris Agreement’s Nationally Determined Contributions to reduce GHG emissions and its commitment to significantly decarbonise the global energy system, this report provides a brief guide on key low-carbon and renewable gas technologies that are currently available for deployment to ramp up the gas industry’s efforts towards deep decarbonisation. We would like to recognise the fantastic work done on this report by Mr Jean-Marc Leroy and IGU's Carbon Neutrality Taskforce!

Our latest publication 🔊 - Introduction to Low Carbon Gas Technologies - also covers #hydrogen production #technologies as energy carriers. Currently, there is a limited number of such technologies in widespread operation, and these must be ramped up by orders of magnitude to be consistent with the world’s current #climate targets. Only then can we ensure that the priorities of energy security and energy transition do not undermine each other. The current energy-carrying hydrogen production technologies are: 1️⃣ Methane reformation: extracting hydrogen from #methane #molecules and removing #CO2. 2️⃣ Water #electrolysis: using renewable electricity to produce hydrogen from #water. 3️⃣ Thermal #gasification: extracting hydrogen from solid material with high heat. 4️⃣ Methane #pyrolysis: extracting hydrogen from methane using a process that does not produce CO2. 5️⃣ Solar #photocatalytic: using dedicated solar energy installations to produce renewable hydrogen. 6️⃣ Biological production of hydrogen: through #fermentation and #photolysis of #biomass. 7️⃣ Geological #extraction of natural hydrogen If your organisation is actively involved in creating such technologies, please get in touch with us! We'd love to hear from you! #energycarriers #climatetargets #energysecurity #energytransition #productiontechnologies #methanereformation #waterelectrolysis #renewableelectricity #renewableenergy #thermalgasification #methanepyrolysis #solarenergy #renewablehydrogen #naturalhydrogen #carbon #carbongas #lowcarbongas #igu #internationalgasunion https://lnkd.in/eUn7UKHt

"There are, sadly, already too many individuals in our political sphere who prefer to pander with wishful thinking and simplified messages which we might want to hear, rather than explaining the messy and difficult trade-offs that we are likely to face as we navigate through a complex, regionally differentiated energy transition." #energytransition #iea #weo #saeo #worldenergyoutlook #gas #naturalgas #politics #lng #climatechange #igu #internationalgasunion

It was only last week that our members from across the world gathered in Cairo to elect our 2028-2031 President! For those members who couldn't make it to Cairo, as well as for those potential members wishing to join IGU and its global voice of gas, our hosts - Egyptian Gas Association - compiled these great highlights of a memorable week in the Land of the Pharaohs! Also, if you are a member of the IGU, check your inbox as we have just sent out a special Newsletter, covering all the key events that happened in Cairo last week: 🔊 electing our 2028-2031 President and the host of the 2031 World Gas Conference 📣 two fantastic member panels 🔥 two outstanding workshops 🎥 one press conference #igu #cairo #egypt #ega #council #elections #gas #naturalgas #globalvoiceofgas #energy #oilandgas #internationalgasunion

Tomorrow at The Ritz Carlton Cairo, the IGU 2024 Council Workshop will focus on the “Hydrogen Economy - Egypt and the Global Clean Energy Shift”. Esteemed panelists include HE. Walid Gamal Eldin , Chairman, Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZONE); Mark Davis, Managing Director SEMED Region, EBRD; Pakinam Kafafi, CEO, TAQA Arabia; Mahmoud Shata, CFA, Business Development Director, Scatec ASA; and Karim Shaaban, Founder and Managing Director, Rosetta Energy (Moderator). Don’t miss the opportunity to gain insights from industry leaders as we explore the future of hydrogen in the clean energy transition!

We are excited to announce the highly anticipated panel, co-organized by East Mediterranean Gas Forum - EMGF and International Gas Union, titled “Gas Dynamics in the Evolving Energy Transition Landscape.” This important discussion is part of the IGU 2024 Council Workshop and will take place tomorrow at The Ritz Carlton Cairo. Our distinguished panelists include H.E. Eng. Karim Badawi, Egyptian Minister of Petroleum & Mineral Resources; HE. Osama Mobarez, EMGF SG; H.E. Nikolaos Papageorgiou, Greek Ambassador for Egypt; and Karim El-Dessouky, Bechtel Corporation Vice President & Regional Manager for Egypt & East Med (EMGF GIAC Vice Chairman), the session will be moderated by Ella Minty, Director of Communication at the International Gas Union (IGU). This workshop offers a valuable chance to engage with industry leaders on the critical role of gas in the energy transition!

News alert💥 !!! You can also follow us on our newly created WhatsApp channel (below) where we'll be sharing with all our followers something very special😊: unredacted, unscripted, original video footage from "behind the scenes" of the IGU🤳 !!! You'll get to see the Secretariat of the IGU at work, laughing, thinking, arguing (we do that sometimes🤭) and, most importantly, you'll get to see what an IGU Council meeting - especially one where our members are also going to elect IGU's 2028-2031 President and the host of the 2031 World Gas Conference - looks and feels like! This week all our Charter and Premium Associate members are flying in to the Land of the Pharaohs, from across the globe, to cast their vote for either: ✍️ Columbia's Luz Stella Murgas, The President of the Columbian Gas Association (https://buff.ly/4eSofKq) or ✍️ Egypt's Khaled AbuBakr, The Chairman of the Egyptian Gas Association (https://buff.ly/3BIwkmz) https://buff.ly/4eEOfch We (the Secretariat) would like to wish them both good luck!!! Make sure to check our website for the announcement of the winner coming out on Wednesday evening (BST).
