Nigeria is set to make a significant impact at the World Gas Conference (WGC) 2025, scheduled to take place from May 19 to 23 in Beijing, China. This prestigious global event will serve as a platform for Nigeria to highlight its latest innovations in the gas sector, reaffirming its commitment to a sustainable and energy-secure future.
The conference, hosted by China and sponsored by its government, will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, and energy experts to discuss key strategies for the evolving global gas market. Under the theme “Addressing the Energy Trilemma: Energy for a Sustainable Future,” discussions will focus on balancing energy security, environmental sustainability, and economic viability—three critical challenges shaping the industry.
Keynote Speakers and Industry Giants
The event will feature top energy experts, including De la Rey Venter, CEO of Mid-Ocean Energy; Anatol Feygin, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer; and Mark Brownister of the Environmental Defense Fund, known for his expertise in sustainable energy advocacy. Their insights will shape discussions on the future of natural gas and its role in the global energy transition.
Nigeria’s Growing Influence in the Gas Market
Nigeria’s participation in WGC 2025 is particularly timely, as global energy demand is expected to surge by 2050, driven by a projected population increase to 9.6 billion. The country, already a major player in the gas sector, is strategically positioning itself as a leader in liquefied natural gas (LNG) production and export.
