    European Gas: Turmoil, resilience and lessons learned
    Gas & LNG
    The year 2022 was a pivot point for European gas. A sharp reduction in Russian pipeline deliveries was compensated for by record levels of LNG and plummeting demand. Meanwhile government intervention returned in the from of price control and mandated stock builds. This plenary will discuss the lessons learned and the outlines for a new equilibrium. What are the longer-term perspectives for gas demand with less Russian imports, and how plausible are the plans to reduce gas use?

As the gas market normalizes in 2023 and beyond, how will the changing strategies of companies and policymakers affect the trajectory of global gas? How can the gas industry continue to play a growing role in meeting the needs of energy consumers as well as the imperative of sustainability?
