Our power duo - Menelaos (Mel) Ydreos (IGU’s Secretary General) and Mark McCrory (IGU’s Director for Strategy and Advocacy) - held centre stage today at The Energy Council’s World Energy Capital Assembly! While Mark superbly moderated the “Africa in Transition” Panel and touched on complex topics such as the need for Africa to be allowed to pursue its own energy path and transition, Mel’s presence in the US LNG panel allowed for the realities of the US / EU methane regulations to be hotly debated … read more below! https://lnkd.in/eiTm5cAX #energy #weca #gas #lng #us #eu #africa #energytransition #igu #internationalgasunion

In 2027, Hungary will host one of the IGU's and the global gas industry's most pivotal events - IGRC2027 (International Gas Research Conference) where, every three years, the brightest minds in the gas research industry gather to present their ground-breaking research, technological innovations and so much more. To kick off the event, our Vice President Andrea Stegher embarked on a very frank and open dialogue on critical gas matters with the host of IGRC2027, Mr László Fritsch, the CEO of MVM CEEnergy. Watch their conversation below and we look forward to seeing you in Budapest in 2027! https://lnkd.in/d8HcrC8s #igrc #igrc2027 #gas #naturalgas #europe #hungary #budapest #energytransition #energysecurity #gasresearch #technologicalinnovation #igu #internationalgasunion

"Today, oil and gas investments are almost “no go” subjects. They shouldn’t be because the evolution of the global energy systems cannot happen without the support of conventional fuels, especially without that of natural gas. And when raising capital, both private and public, ESG financing and project data are fundamental in doing that. Which bank, if the business case for a project is watertight, would say no to financing a project which can demonstrate an immediate reduction in CO2 emissions by switching to natural gas? Which bank would say no to financing a project that allows entire villages to switch from burning wood to cook, to using gas? Do we want to protect natural habitats and threatened species?" #gas #naturalgas #africa #co2emissions #decarbonisation #energy #cleanenergy #woodburning #financing #esg #oilandgas #oilandgasinvestments

Taking to the stage at AEC African Energy Week in Cape Town today, we discussed the complexity - and reality - of ESG financing in energy projects across the African continent, particularly the criticality of natural gas inclusion in the energy mix and its fundamental role in the decarbonisation of the energy system. #esg #esgfinancing #naturalgas #aew2024 #igu #energy #africa #energypoverty #energymix #decarbonisation #gasmatters #oilandgas https://lnkd.in/ewMVuXdv
