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 will generate productive discussions with tangible outcomes and clear reports.

Leadership Roundtable 1

Producer-consumer roundtable: 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. The discussion will explore 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.

Audience insight

How evolving LNG business models reflect significant changes in the global LNG market driven by the need for greater flexibility, risk management, and sustainability.

Leadership Roundtable 2

LNG’s role in the energy transition: creating a thriving and long-term market in meeting the energy trilemma

Introduction

The insatiable appetite for LNG volumes and the associated price volatility have transformed the global LNG market landscape. While this surge in supply, led by the US and Qatar, will ensure LNG availability and affordability through the second half of the decade, additional supply will still be needed. Disruptions such as the recent pause on US LNG project approvals, sanctions on Russian LNG, and the rising challenges in financing new supply could significantly tighten the market by 2030 as the energy transition accelerates. Geopolitical events, high inflation, and supply chain disruptions have added to the uncertainty.

The energy industry has shifted from considering LNG as a transition fuel on the path to net-zero emissions to a fundamental part of low-carbon solutions. LNG’s flexibility in power generation, industrial use, and as a transportation fuel makes it essential for energy security whilst also being a futureproof infrastructure asset, which can accommodate diversified renewable energy sources supporting the energy transition.

Audience insight

LNG will continue to play a crucial role in the transition to a low-carbon economy. How will LNG adapt and align with global energy goals while addressing the multifaceted challenges of the energy trilemma for the many decades to come?
