Abstract

To simultaneously achieve a thriving economy, energy security and a reduced environmental impact, a diversified energy mix is essential. Gas, in its conventional and unconventional forms, will play a major role in future energy markets. In four sessions, the conference will therefore address:

1. Perspectives on Unconventional Gas
2. The Potential of Natural Gas
3. LNG and International Energy Markets
4. Political Economy & Sustainability of Gas

We are expecting 14 distinguished speakers from academia, policy and industry and a broad and diverse audience to enrich the discussions. Sign-up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cuen-annual-conference-2014-tickets-11063809151
