Who submits a paper?

The Gastech Call for papers is open to the entire energy industry, welcoming papers from applicants of all backgrounds. Each year, thousands of pioneering papers from around the world are submitted for consideration in the programme.

Throughout its history, Gastech has consistently championed professionals from diverse backgrounds, disciplines, and organisations. Each year, it receives thousands of pioneering papers from global leaders in NECs, IECs, SMEs, start-ups, and major operating companies across the upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors. This approach cultivates a distinctive environment that encourages collaboration, creativity, and actionable solutions.

After the submission of papers have been submitted, on topics spanning the entire energy value chain, the Gastech Governing Body will meticulously review and select the most outstanding contributions.

Technical Speakers

Technical programme speakers will be specialists in the fields of technology, innovation, data, process engineering, project and program management, product management, research and other relevant disciplines.

Commercial Speakers

Commercial programme speakers will be experts in the fields of business strategy, marketing, regulatory issues, trading, finance and other relevant professions. They’ll be expected to demonstrate their experiences of turning corporate policy into practice.

“I am looking forward to attending Gastech 2025 taking place in Milan. I am particularly keen to attend the commercial and hydrogen sessions, as they will offer us the latest thinking on LNG supply projects, the evolving gas situation in Europe, legal issues in gas contracts, the importance of lowering LNG’s carbon intensity in response to the new EU methane regulation, and how to create hydrogen demand.”
