Agenda

LNG export capacity in Louisiana and around Beaumont/Port Arthur will ramp up quickly in the next 5 years by an additional ~4.8 Bcf/d. Just in the region around the Sabine River, from Beaumont to Lake Charles, feedgas demand could reach over 12 Bcf/d by 2028. And those are just the most likely projects. There are scores of others waiting in the wings. Not only that, but industrial gas demand on the Gulf Coast is poised to grow too. So the critical question is; Where will the gas come from? And is there enough to serve these new facilities in the years to come?

-supply / demand implications
-new projects / expansions update
-dedicated feed gas infrastructure to support LNG exports
-leveraging/repurposing existing nat gas infrastructure
-overcoming opposition; regulatory constraints; policymaking

After spending most of last year in a storage deficit we now find ourselves in nearly the exact opposite situation with a storage surplus. So what happened? Has the market made any progress on reducing the surplus? We will discuss how the summer injection season has been progressing and touch on high level themes that will be driving the gas markets into the future.

The pipeline balancing act - supplying the demands of:
1) LNG exports
2) Local utility & industrial demand
3) Throughput to other market regions

-North America based LNG Export terminal capacity continues to expand with multiple projects in development
-The majority of projects are sited along the U.S. Gulf Coast, with additional outliers on the Pacific Coast in Canada and Mexico
-Various proposals for FLNG terminals have also been announced
-Each proposal includes planned output capacity for the terminal
-With so many projects announced, it is difficult to keep track of the stage of development and anticipated completion date for each project (i.e. announced, filed, in-development, FID, under construction, in production, etc.)
-Each announced project will be reviewed and identified by its relative stage of development and anticipated completion date, as well as likelihood of completion
-Nuances and differentiators about specific projects will be highlighted

-Solving the energy trilemma (security, sustainability, and affordability) requires innovation in nat gas-based alternatives that deliver on market demand for low-carbon energy.
-Suppliers are already offering low carbon alternatives including Differentiated Natural Gas, Renewable Natural Gas (RNG), Carbon Capture, Carbon Offsets, Hydrogen (H2), etc. This panel will explore the entire value chain of getting clean gas to market.

Please join our hosts, the Corporate Sponsors, at a cocktail reception in your honor. Don’t make your dinner plans too early as hors d’oeuvres and an open bar will be the highlight of this extremely well attended session!

RNG is being used as feedstock for LNG production and is available for the trucking industry where credits may apply. However, RNG can help numerous industries achieve sustainability goals in so many more ways!
