Athens is set to host the 22nd World LNG Summit & Awards late this month, marking the first time that the closely-watched event will be held in Greece.
The summit and the accompanying awards ceremonies will be held between Nov. 29 and Dec. 2, under the auspices of Greece’s ministry of environment and energy, and hosted by DESFA, the natural gas transmission system operator in the country.
As expected, the summit will bring together global LNG leaders from across the value chain, with the aim to showcase the very critical role of LNG and gas play in both energy security and the ongoing drive for decarbonization.
Speakers representing top LNG and gas-affiliated concerns and companies are expected to address topics in a business-centric environment, including: global LNG, gas supply and demand dynamics; the impact of the war in Ukraine on LNG; new LNG technology initiatives and low-carbon solutions; the race to build LNG import infrastructure, as well as LNG shipping and financing trends.
“It gives us great pleasure to announce that the 22nd World LNG Summit & Awards will be hosted in Athens… Greece is evolving into an energy hub for the wider area of southeast Europe with many significant investments going on in this part of the world. The war in Ukraine and the REPowerEU plan have stressed the vital role of Greece’s natural gas infrastructure in ensuring both diversification of energy supply and increased energy security regionally and LNG remains an important part of the solution against the ongoing drive for decarbonization,” DESFA CEO Maria Rita Galli said in a statement ahead of the summit.
The 22nd World LNG Summit & Awards is the leading conference supporting the global LNG, gas and energy value chain in the region. The event is expected to attract more than 500 attendees and 90 speakers from 45 countries over four days of conference sessions, along with three fully CPD accredited master classes.
Among the highlights are a tour of the Revithoussa islet LNG Terminal and the 2022 World LNG Awards Evening.
Capital Ship Management Corp. is a Gold Sponsor of the World LNG Summit & Awards.
