IGU's vision

As the global voice of Gas, IGU seeks to improve the quality of life by advancing Gas as a key contributor to a sustainable energy future.

How does the IGU work?

The working organisation of IGU covers the complete Gas value chain, from the supply of natural and decarbonised gas, renewable gas and hydrogen, through their transmission and distribution, and all the way to the point of use.

IGU encourages international trade in Gas by supporting non-discriminatory policies and sound contracting principles and practices, promoting development of technologies which add to the environmental benefits of Gas and further enhance safe production, transmission, distribution and utilisation of Gas.

IGU strives to be the most credible, effective, and independent organisation, serving as the spokesperson for the Gas industry worldwide.

The IGU also organises the world’s leading international Gas events, including the World Gas Conference (WGC), the International Gas Research Conference, and the World LNG conference series.

Manifesto

In promoting ‘Gas’, the IGU fully embraces the potential of natural gas, LNG, low-carbon, decarbonised and renewable gases (including hydrogen, biomethane, synthetic gas, e-methane) to drive an even deeper decarbonisation of the energy system.
