Gastech 2012 to focus on the role of innovation in ensuring energy supply

Gastech, a natural gas conference and exhibition, is inviting industry leaders, operators and service providers to bring their innovations and solutions to a captive audience in a bid to ensure the sustained supply of energy worldwide.

This year’s conference sees the return of the Centres of Technical Excellence (CoTEs), free-to-attend educational theatres located on the Gastech Exhibition show floor.

Created to deliver knowledge, education and awareness of new innovations and developments in gas technology, the CoTEs provide a platform for many of the world’s most respected industry associations and organisations by utilising high-level speakers to encourage thought-provoking discussion.

Throughout the four days of the show, the theatres will focus on specific areas of interest to those working in the global gas industry.

The twelve CoTEs streams for the event include: gas processing, power generation, unconventional gas, health, safety and environment, floating LNG, engineering project delivery, cryogenics, pipelines and transmission, offshore and subsea technology, UK innovation, carbon capture and storage, and LNG shipping fuel.

The Gas Processing Association Europe (GPAE) is among the organisations that have confirmed their support for the CoTEs. The GPAE previously presented in the 2011 CoTEs and will also be presenting this year’s 2012 Gas Processing stream.

Sandy Dunlop, executive administrator for the GPAE, commented: “The 2011 CoTEs were invigorating and a great opportunity to showcase … technical knowledge to exhibition visitors. … Gastech 2012, and the CoTEs in particular, will facilitate collaboration to help assure long-term energy delivery.”

Gastech will be held in London from the 8 to 11 October, welcoming around 10 000 industry professionals from across the upstream, midstream and downstream sectors. The deadline for presentation submissions is 30 March.
