Business Program

The FutureGAS 2010 business program will look at both today and, importantly, tomorrow.

Over two days a broad range of areas of the entire gas industry will be discussed, dissected and debated. Business sessions will occur on Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 March.

On Wednesday the focus will be on current developments, the policy and regulatory settings impacting the industry, the commercial outlook in areas such as exploration and production, transmission, distribution, retail, CSG, LNG and generation.

On Thursday we look to tomorrow as the program explores younger and emerging trends and opportunities in the gas industry ranging from natural gas vehicles, micro-LNG, underground coal gasification, co- and tri-generation, fuel cells, gas cooling and other areas.
