About R&D&I committee


•The Research and Development and Innovation Committee will conduct a comprehensive collection of information on a variety of technologies related to the entire natural gas value chain, exchange and share the information accordingly, and disseminate it throughout the IGU members. The scope of this Committee is not limited to the conventional technologies but embraces all technical sectors including emerging & innovative technologies. The technical work of this Committee will contribute to expanding the business sector in the gas industry, making the gas business more competitive and providing useful solutions.

•The Research and Development and Innovation Committee will follow the policy of IGU and work closely with the other committees. After a thorough communication and discussion with the other committees, the output of this committee will be realistic and practical, and will lead to the pragmatic and efficient utilization and implementation of the technologies.

•The Research and Development and Innovation Committee will support the International Gas Union Research Conference 2020 by creating the conference program.

Collaborative works with other committees


Communication on 6 strategic themes (Part 1) (Gas & Renewable Energies)

52

Background

• IGU is the global voice for the gas industry and will enhance the

involvement in external engagements

Action of every committee

• Every committee will support the promotion of the strategy of IGU

• put forward cooperative works of committees on priority strategic themes,

and promote the active cooperation on strategic themes.

Works of the R&D&I committee

• This committee will engage in three strategic themes (Gas and renewable

energies, Gas for transport, and energy Efficiency), and conduct

collaborative works like joint meetings

Example of the actual activity

• The first joint meeting on Gas & Renewable Energies has been held in

Malaysia under the management of Sustainability committee.


Communication on 6 strategic themes (Part 2)

Works at the joint meeting

The SG3 of Sustainable committee led the discussion on “Gas &renewable

energy”, and some members from other committees like R&D&I joined it

Scope of the activity

• Potential of renewables and gas as long term option (up to 2050).

• Exploring the complementary role of renewables and gas.

• Technological disruption in renewables and to meet energy demand

Objective of the work

• 2 paged document will be prepared by next February. The document will

be used to propose an important message to other international

organizations like G20, WB, etc.

Homework of the R&D&I committee

• This committee shall provide a report of case study of technologies

(examples of technologies ) related to gas & renewables by November

• This issue will not be conducted through usual SG works, but a Taskforce

team.
