Networking Roundtable Discussions

Join your colleagues to discuss the key issues around trading LNG and Carbon Credits over a drink. There will be three rotations within the session, allowing delegates to spend 20 minutes on any one topic.

Roundtable 1:

How is carbon priced and traded?

Roundtable 2:

What are the regulatory changes in carbon markets that stand to effect LNG trade economics?

Roundtable 3:

Is using carbon credits greenwashing?

Roundtable 4:

Will we see lower carbon LNG trading at a premium to uncertified cargoes in the future and if so, how soon?

“LNG traders know decarbonisation will require constant innovation and the use of high quality carbon offsets but the market is complex and fragmented. Dialogue, collaboration and technology will be key to ensuring a sustained place for LNG in a low carbon economy. We thank the World LNG Summit for providing the ideal forum to drive change and make a positive contribution to the world’s climate targets.”
