An evolution in changing uses for gas, institutional reforms, technological change, and geopolitics are all driving gas demand and supply – globally, across Europe and here in the UK. But will these incremental developments usher in a future of radical changes and transformation? What are the drivers, path dependences, and tipping points of any potential revolution? We have a set of leading experts who will consider the interplay between aspects of gas market development, in the short- and long-term. In addition, the seminar will feature the annual UK gas winter outlook from National Grid.
