The Leadership Roundtables are a gathering of CEOs and C-suite executives from the world’s leading energy companies.

These invitation-only Leadership Roundtables are where the energy sector’s thought leaders, strategists, and policymakers meet to lead the future direction of energy production, supply, and use, while building top-table connections and optimising their network of contacts, bound by the Chatham House Rule.

These roundtables generate productive discussions with tangible outcomes and clear reports.

Leadership Roundtable 1

Evolving LNG business models for a new procurement era

Introduction

In recent years, global gas and LNG markets have experienced significant volatility, particularly due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, reshaping the LNG market landscape. Buyers incorporate flexibility into their portfolios, while producers recognise the value of adjusting contract terms.

Contracting may evolve to allow more flexible shipping, shorter terms, and creative pricing, giving rise to new financing models. It’s crucial for the industry to anticipate ongoing disruptions and consider how LNG business models will evolve through 2025/26.

This Leadership Roundtable discussion explored how new models can help mitigate the accessibility and affordability risks to energy security, ensuring that LNG remains a reliable fuel throughout the energy transition.

The discussion focused on market dynamics, the need to ensure affordable and reliable supply, and the industry’s progress toward decarbonisation.
