OVERVIEW OF THE 2012-2015 IGU PRESIDENCY OVERVIEW

The French triennium began against a background of WEDNESDAY 3 JUNE 2015 economic crisis and a reduced demand for gas despite the emergence of new resources. The economic crisis affected Gas, Renewables and Electricity: Together a Perfect all industries globally including the energy sector, but also Combination – promote the appropriate mix of gas and impacted Europe, North America, China and India in a way renewables and electricity. that could not be predicted. The Pre Presidency disaster in Japan in March 2011 and the new introduction of fuels such The conference sessions which took place on this day, tackled as shale gas and LNG, enabled natural gas to gain a more the importance that if gas is to provide a future source of favourable position within the energy industry – highlighted ‘friendly’ energy for the world population it needs to grow further by the IEA study on ‘A golden age of gas’. alongside renewables. The sessions further confirmed that a larger more integrated global gas industry is required to The need for clean and efficient energy to meet the world’s make the transition into a carbon neutral society. expanding energy needs was also of significant importance at the start of the French triennium and continued to play a THURSDAY 4 JUNE 2015 crucial part throughout the three years. With this in mind, the 26th World Gas Conference’s theme ‘Growing together Natural Gas as a Growth Factor for New Economies – towards a friendly planet’ was set. improve the availability of natural gas in new areas and developing countries. The theme emphasised the importance for the need of a clean and efficient energy source and that natural gas is the perfect Day 3 of the conference focused on ensuring the benefits fossil fuel to meet this requirement. Natural gas has remained of gas are as widespread as possible and it is affordable a key part of the fuel mix that will continue to drive future particularly when combined with renewables in emerging global growth. Additionally the theme ultimately promoted and new gas countries. Discussions and presentations that gas CARES about the future. It remains an energy source confirmed that the industry needs to be ready for the new that is Clean, Acceptable, Reliable, Efficient and Secure. uses for gas that will arise in the future and their possible applications. It further highlighted that to drive gas sales The 26th World Gas Conference’s main objective was to build in an increasingly environmentally conscious and cost upon the progress made by the Argentinean and Malaysian sensitive world, the gas industry must leverage technology triennia and to ensure that the studies from the Technical and innovation and target specific growth.

To ensure the theme and objective of the WGCPARIS2015 FRIDAY 2 JUNE 2015 was addressed and to reinforce the IGU’s role in the industry; four strategic guidelines or pillars were created as the basis Human Capital for the Future of the Gas Industry – of the programme. These also acted as daily themes. attract human resources and reduce staff turnover.

TUESDAY 2 JUNE 2015 On the final day of the conference the issue of human capital was discussed to address the major shortage of technical Natural Gas as a Core Pillar for a Sustainable Future of skills in the engineering and energy industries. Many questions the Planet – to obtain official recognition for natural gas were debated including, how does the gas industry interact as the destination fuel for sustainable development. with other industries?

• For decades the source of natural gas supplies to any given location remained stable. Generally, distribution grids comprised of one or possibly two sources of supply based on long- term delivery contracts. In many parts of the world, this is no longer the case. The situation has changed over the past few years and the rate of change is increasing. The reasons for this change are a growing diversification of gas quality, LNG instead of pipe gas, local fields or non-conventional sources (shale gas, bio-methane, hydrogen and SNG). 10 2454 Post Event Report.qxp_WGC Post Event Report 27/08/2015 17:37 Page 11

• Energy security, environmental policies and climate policies.

In conclusion the prospects for natural gas are good, but are not self-evident. Consequently, the gas industry must be constantly engaged in active and transparent communication about the role gas can play for the economy, the environment and in a long-term strat egy towards decarbonisation. 13 2454 Post Event Report.qxp_WGC Post Event Report 27/08/2015 17:37 Page 14

OVERVIEW OF PROGRAMME COMMITTEE C GAS MARKETS COMMITTEE – 2012-2015 SUMMARY OVERVIEW

The basic mission of PGC C for the triennium was to identify The PGC C 2 report started its analysis on the US shale gas and analyse the emerging issues and key market drivers that and then extended to other unconventional gas-developing both developed and developing gas markets are facing and countries including China, Australia, India, and Indonesia. to provide insights into the promotion of said gas markets. The report also investigated the potential of shale gas For this reason, PGC C focused its attention to specific world- development in Europe. At the end of the report, implications wide issues and their impact on the regional gas markets. and challenging issues of developing unconventional gas were provided, with special attention on the Asia-Pacific The two most important issues selected by committee LNG market. members were “Role of Natural Gas in Electricity Generation Mix” and “Implications of Developing Unconventional Gas”. A total of 58 committee members from 23 counties took The former theme was studied by study group PGC C 1, led part in and contributed to the PGC C activities. During the by Alexey Biteryakov of Gazprom, Russia and the latter triennium, two joint committee meetings with PGC A in theme was examined by study group PGC C 2, led by 2012 and 2013 and a tripartite joint meeting with WOC 1 Shigeki Sakamoto from IAE, Japan. and PGC A in 2013 were successfully held where committee members had an opportunity of extensive information Extensive studies on the two subjects by both study groups exchange and knowledge-sharing. In addition, workshops successfully completed the triennium reports. PGC C 1 designed and embedded into every committee meeting report attempted to figure out the future of natural gas in provided a platform for committee members and invited the European electricity generation mix, giving special outside speakers to exchange views and network with attention to the possibility of Europe being a model for professionals from all over the world. other markets. In the process of analysis, it reviewed other power markets such as Japan, Korea, and MENA regions and drew various conclusions.
