The role of gas in Asia’s energy transition

Examine opportunities for gas as it bridges the path between today’s conventional energy systems and tomorrow’s decarbonized solutions.

As Asia advances its journey toward a low-carbon future, natural gas continues to play a pivotal role in balancing the trilemma of energy security, affordability and sustainability.​

Join us on Thursday, 30 October 2025, to discuss the role of gas in Asia’s energy transition. Guest speakers and panelists include:​

• Varun Gujral, Country Manager SEA ENGIE; CEO Asia Pacific & Middle East at ENGIE S&EM​

• Harshit Agrawal, Senior Energy Specialist, The World Bank

This session will examine opportunities for gas as it is increasingly positioned as a transition fuel, bridging the path between today’s conventional energy systems and tomorrow’s decarbonized solutions. Yet questions remain around how long this role will last, how investment decisions will be shaped and what regulatory or geopolitical pressures could accelerate or constrain its trajectory.

Key discussion themes will include:​

• How gas can underpin energy security while enabling renewable integration​

• Evolving policy and regulatory landscape shaping gas investments in Asia​

• Infrastructure challenges and financing requirements for LNG and pipeline expansions​

• Long-term competitiveness of gas versus hydrogen, ammonia and other low-carbon solutions​

• Perspectives on the pace of transition and implications for regional markets and investors​
