Knowledge Partners stands out as a versatile, low-emission solution with the
potential to transform energy, transportation and industrial
sectors. However, achieving widespread hydrogen adoption
faces significant hurdles, including infrastructure limitations,
high production costs, policy misalignment and the pressing
need for technological advancements. To stimulate demand
growth across the region, industry leaders and policymakers
must address these barriers by creating market incentives,
adapting regulatory frameworks, and promoting cross-sector
applications that can drive demand. Public and private
stakeholders will play a crucial role in developing a resilient
hydrogen ecosystem.
This discussion will identify actionable pathways to establish
hydrogen as a core pillar in Asia’s energy future, enabling
significant progress toward sustainability and economic
resilience across the region.

LEADERSHIP ROUNDTABLE 2
Natural Gas and LNG: Navigating Demand, Market
Dynamics, and Sustainability

Sponsored by

As the global energy landscape pivots toward cleaner

sources, natural gas and LNG are positioned as key
transitional fuels, balancing immediate energy needs with
sustainability goals. Rising urbanisation, industrialisation
and electricity demand - particularly in emerging markets
- are driving substantial reliance on these fuels, but they
face significant demand fluctuations, fuelled by seasonal
shifts, geopolitical tensions and evolving market preferences,
such as the movement from long-term contracts toward
more spot-market trading. This creates a highly dynamic
environment, with volatility in prices and regional imbalances
adding complexity for stakeholders. Industry leaders,
policymakers and experts need to optimise LNG supply
chains, enhance infrastructure resilience, minimise emissions
through technologies like carbon capture and leak detection,
and ensure both affordability and energy security.
This discussion will explore how market fluctuations,
geopolitical factors and technological advancements are
shaping the natural gas and LNG sectors.
