The Committee focuses on the development and the impacts of new technologies in the Gas industry. The role of the R&D and Innovation Committee is also to support the organisation of the International Gas Research Conference by encouraging input from R&D institutes and researchers and creating and executing the conference program.
The committee will strengthen the position of gas in relation to competing technologies as well as its societal relevance, interacting strongly with the other Committees and Task Forces as an integrating committee that undertakes solution-oriented studies. The committee will focus on: Adaptation and customisation of efficient gas technologies to new markets, innovation in mobile and stationary applications of LNG and CNG, new technologies and strategies for reduction of emission of methane, NOx, and possibly other fugitive emissions across the gas value chain, efficiency demands on the energy use in specific sectors (e.g. buildings); Decarbonisation technologies in the gas value chain; And Digitalisation and the strategy for gas innovation.
