ISTANBUL, Dec 20, 2024 – (ACN Newswire) – The World LNG Summit & Awards is the meeting place for senior leaders in the global LNG, gas and renewable fuels industry. Each year, leaders from across the value chain convene to share strategic insights on geopolitics, energy security, economic stability, and decarbonisation commitments.
Stefan Wenzel, Parliamentary State Secretary, Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, Germany Opening Speech
The 24th World LNG Summit & Awards welcomed 900 attendees, including 200 senior speakers, and over 500 companies from 50 countries on 9-12 December 2024 in Berlin, Germany. Discussions centred on the challenge of achieving a balance between energy security and decarbonisation. The World LNG Summit & Awards 2024 featured the World LNG Summit, the World LNG Awards, as well as two new features: World Renewable Fuels Conference, and the Leadership Roundtable Programme.
Participants agreed on the need for urgent action to reduce the greenhouse gas intensity of the global energy system whilst maintaining energy security for consumers. As the world moves towards net zero carbon, LNG must remain affordable, reliable and less emissions-intensive, in the face of soaring international energy demand and geopolitical disruption.
