The Group of Experts on Gas helps UNECE member States deliver on key political commitments, such as the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development or the global agreements on climate change.

The tenth session will focus on:

• Sustainable Development Goals (nexus gas-health, energy poverty, Africa)

• Hydrogen (blending, emissions, production challenges, and classification)

• System resilience and security of supply and the future of gas supply in Europe

• Carbon capture, use and storage (though the use of depleted gas fields)

• Methane emissions

 

The session will also feature the first part of a joint meeting of the Group of Experts and the Global Methane Initiative (GMI) Oil and Gas Subcommittee, which will take place on Wednesday, 22 March (14:00-16:00) in room H-207, and will continue during the methane emissions portion of the 10th Session agenda on 23 March. An online connection for virtual participants will be available on Wednesday only.
