Specialised Training on the Liquified Natural Gas Markets
3 DAY Online Course
3 DAY Online Course
LNG has earned an increasing role in the energy supply of Europe, as well as of other world areas, strengthened by the 2021-22 crisis and the related fall of Russian supplies to Europe. This role is expected to further increase as supply projects are ruthlessly developed in all continents, while Europe plans to phase out remaining Russian supplies and limit its exposure to pipeline suppliers. At the same time, awareness of the fuel’s environmental footprint increases and initiatives are undertaken to control it.
On the other hand, the LNG market represents a major challenge for energy policy makers and regulators, as its global dimension expands competition and enhances market interchangeability, but its global outreach limits the scope of regulatory activities. Whereas technology plays a major role in this industry, trading arrangements and political decisions are just as relevant, but may significantly differ from those adopted by national and continental electricity and gas markets
Building on the recent FSR experience of training and discussing LNG market developments in Africa, Asia and Latin America, this Course offers an overview of market organization and development, trading and pricing arrangements, environmental challenges and solutions, and regulatory issues.
Through expert’s insights from from academia, policymaking, and the world of practice, this course will delve deeper into the LNG dynamics, equipping participants with a better understanding of the global markets, policy and regulatory frameworks and future environmental challenges.
With an average 5% annual growth in the last decade, LNG is one of the most dynamic global energy sources. Since 2000, exporting countries markets doubled to 22 while importing markets increased five-fold to 48. Supply growth has been driven by technological improvements enabling different production and regasification options, transport cost reductions. Demand rise has been boosted by the need to diversify away from pipeline suppliers, notably after the start of the Ukrainian war; the opportunity to turn to cleaner fuels to fight air pollution in large urban areas of emerging economies; and the search for lower carbon emission rates in power generation, notably by coal burning industries; and the opening of new markets including small size usage in land and sea transportation and industrial consumption.
Trading arrangements have thoroughly expanded, opening short term market opportunities and hereby creating a significant market liquidity. Pricing criteria have turned complex as well as more flexible.
Whereas coal and oil consumption may be close to peaking as energy transition targets are being pursued, LNG is regarded by many countries as a significant contributor to the transition, alongside renewable energy, and its further development is widely expected.
This course is conveniently arranged over three days and timed in the best way for a global audience. Attendance is mandatory as live classes are not recorded per internal policy (Chatham House rules).
Lectures, case studies and panels will be held each day between 10:30 and 13:00 and between 14:00 and 15:30 CET, with a break between 13:00 and 14:00.
