In the last issue of the Energy Outlook report 2013, the International Energy Agency estimates that natural gas will have the best growth of fossil fuels, reaching up to 25% of the total primary energy in the world in 2035.

To reach this stage, we need to rely on performing research and innovation. We will have to improve efficiency, competitiveness, cost-reduction and limitation of emissions if we are to meet energy demand and fulfil the expectations of society.

Within IGU, the work of the Committee on Research & Innovation is a major contribution to IGU’s mission.

IGU is a network whose members are experts who share their know-how. The 26th World Gas Conference to be held in June 2015 in Paris, under the main theme: ”Growing together towards a friendly planet”, will be the opportunity to present the main results and conclusions of IGRC2014.

IGU fully supports the IGRC, and I am very pleased to congratulate our Danish colleagues for the perfect organisation of this conference.

Jérôme FerrierPresident of IGU

Congress Hall, Ground floor Domestic & commercial gas utilisation Will gas heat pumps find their place in the market? Session chairperson: Thea Larsen, CEO, Danish Gas Technology Centre, DENMARK The gas heat pump is one of the technologies awaited by the gas industry to better compete on the space heating mar-ket. Gas heat pumps - as electrical heat pumps - are considered as renewable technologies and therefore an important element in the transition to a green energy system. Technologies for the commercial sector have been available for many years, but the market is still modest despite excellent performances. Recent developments (new products on the way, energy labelling regulations, etc.) may, however, change the situation. In this session, two new domestic absorption heat pump developments with promising efficiencies will be presented from Europe and USA, respectively. Additionally, the field test results from Germany will help to identify further actions needed to create a successful implementation of this technology on the market.

Pjerrot room, Ground floor Industrial gas utilisation Advanced syngas technology and environmental awareness Session chairperson: Pierre Bartholomeus, Segment Director Gas Consulting, DNV GL Oil & Gas, NETHERLANDS The results of a pilot with the Turbo-POx technology for Gas to Liquids will be presented. This technology is based on a Partial Oxidation Gas Turbine concept in which hot synthesis gas is rapidly cooled in a close-coupled turbo-expander instead of in a conventional waste-heat boiler. With this new technology, economic and environmental savings can be achieved. Furthermore, pathways to use biosyngas for industrial use (e.g. glass melting furnaces) or to produce 2nd generation Biomethane from ligno-cellulosic biomass through gasification and methanation are discussed. This session also elaborates about the creation of a local and sustainable supply chain. The next paper is about a method of non-flaring and non-CO2 emission in the gas refinery busi-ness via a dry reforming, catalytic dehydrogenation process which offers a number of advantages. The last paper presents some innovative systems of methane-hydrogen fuel production with high hydrogen content and the application of methane-hydrogen mixtures in the energy and transport sector.

Carstensen room, Basement Cross-cutting topics Biogas as part of the renewable future Session chairperson: Jörgen Held, CEO, Renewable Energy Technology International, SWEDEN It is evident that renewable methane will play a significant part in the transition to a future sustainable energy system. It’s a huge advantage that upgraded biogas and biomethane through gasification and methanation are miscible with natural gas in any proportion and can be distributed through the natural gas infrastructure, in gaseous or liquid form, and utilized in any natural gas application with high efficiency and low emissions. The possibility to produce clean and high-quality fuels or intermediates that can be synthesized to a wide variety of chemicals by conversion of different types of waste and by-products with a minimal carbon dioxide footprint is an attractive path.



Lumbye room, Basement Gas production Production management and optimisation Session chairperson: Azzedine Adjeb, Director Technology and Development, Sonatrach, ALGERIA Production of oil and natural gas employs a highly developed set of technologies to efficiently transport hydrocarbons from the sub-surface into the production value chain. However, there still remains areas in the hydrocarbon value chain that can be optimized with respect to increasing revenue and decreasing operating cost. The papers in this session address opportunities to increase the return on producing assets as well as lower production cost in upstream oil and gas by investing in hydrocarbon management solutions and energy optimization technologies; management of field production gathering network to improve efficiency in operation, new design, capacity expansion and more confident decision making; and a production optimization initiative through innovation with focus on producing assets, issues of integration, technical level of the organsisation, sense of urgency and pro-activeness.

Director, Education and Business Dev., Gas Technology Institute, USA The global gas industry is experiencing sustained growth in geographic and supply diversity. Coincident with the increased supply is the need to develop and offer cost-effective utilization options for gas consumers. This session offers an overview of several advanced residential energy technologies that offer valued services to the consumer and also highlight the interaction and potential of natural gas with other energy resources.



Pjerrot room, Ground floor

Cross-cutting topics Reducing carbon footprint of natural gas Session chairperson: Torben Brabo, Manager Gas Division, Energinet.dk, DENMARK There is an increasing awareness that natural gas can contribute to the transition to low-carbon energy supply since it is the cleanest of all fossil fuels. However, it is essential to further reduce the carbon footprint of natural gas in order to ensure that it remains an attractive fuel in a future carbon-free energy system. That is also one of the conclusions in the European Commission’s Energy Roadmap 2050. The challenge is to find workable ways to contain the CO2. This session provides an insight into how the CO2-emission can be controlled in very diverse circumstances.

Carstensen room, Basement Gas transmission & distribution Improving the pipeline integrity of your gas infrastructure by monitoring and detection Session chairperson: Kristin Kinn Kaste, Vice President Transport Network, Gassco, Norway Increased focus on pipeline safety and corresponding regulations requires improved solutions for pipeline integrity management. In addition to compliance, pipeline operators also see the benefit of technologies and systems that increase efficiency and extend the lifetime of ageing assets. Hence, several improvement initiatives are being iden-tified and developed in the industry. In this session you will learn about the latest developments and experiences within some new technologies developed to improve pipeline integrity. The systems to be presented are related to improved inline inspection of pipelines, remote monitoring of pipeline integrity and early detection of potential threats.



Lumbye room, Basement Gas productionUnderground gas storage in the modern energy market Session chairperson: Peter Klingenberger, CEO, E.ON Gas Storage, GERMANY Use of underground gas storage has become an important part of the gas infrastructure in the modern energy market to meet load variations and security of supply. Storing of natural gas underground is achieved in depleted oil/gas fields, water bearing reservoirs known as aquifers, cavities created in salts/rocks or in abandoned mines. Gas is injected into storage during periods of low demand and withdrawn during peak demand. Gas storage is also used for balancing gas flow in pipeline systems, maintaining contractual balance, leveling production over periods of fluctuating demand, market driven rationals, insuring against any unforeseen accidents (weather), meeting regula-tory obligations, reducing price volatility, offsetting changes in natural gas demands, etc. The papers in this session address the current trends in Europe’s underground gas storage and the present role of storage given the dynamics of the natural gas market, operation of underground gas storage in Iran given reservoir and well properties, and status of a feasibility study on security of supply underground gas storage in Venezuela.

Congress Hall, Ground floor Cross-cutting topics How new gas resources impact national energy systems Session chairperson: Pål Rasmussen, Deputy Secretary General, IGU, NORWAY There will be requirement for fossil fuel for many decades to come. Where does gas find its place in combination with other energy sources, including the rapid growing market for renewable energy, in this picture? What is required for gas to be fossil fuel of the future? Can gas adapt to the challenges required by the market, to ensure that we continue to be an important and integrated part of a sustainable energy future?The gas industry has numerous challenges – but one thing is for sure – without a continued high focus on research and development and increased focus on advocacy the challenge can become excessive.

Session chairperson: Hermann Pengg, Head Renewable Fuels, AUDI, GERMANY Audi opened the first industrial scaled power-to-gas plant in Northern Germany in 2013 to develop a chain of su-stainable energy carriers. It begins with green electricity, water and carbon dioxide. The end products are hydrogen and the synthetic methane. Large amounts of green electricity can be stored efficiently and independently of loca-tion by transforming it into methane gas and storing it in the natural gas network, the largest public energy storage system in many countries. Major German and international energy utilities have since taken up the idea of power-to-gas cogeneration and are following Audi with initial projects of their own.

What is the business case for R&D? Session chairperson: Gerald Linke, Senior Managing Director, DVGW, GERMANY Research and development built the foundation of a steady growth of the rate of utilization of natural gas. Many examples can be found along the entire value chain. But will this trend go on? Will the latest concepts on gas production (shale gas as well as biogas or power-to-gas), on smart gas grids, and on fuel cells or mobility based on NG, CNG or LNG turn into sustainable solutions? In which areas can customers’ acceptance and market growth be expected, and where is industry willing to finance the development phase? What is the role of R&D organizations in this context? Is it better to achieve a high level of specialism or gain systemic competences? Is natural gas industry still an attractive playing field for resear-chers, or do other spheres of activity provide more auspicious prospects? This plenary offers a platform for this discus-sion and provides answers from the perspectives of industry and university.

Congress Hall, Ground floor Domestic & commercial gas utilisation Domestic fuel cells - latest developments Session chairperson: Kunihiro Nishizaki, Manager FC Dev., Tokyo Gas, JAPAN Natural gas fuelled fuel cell systems are promising as highly efficient distributed power generation systems and CHPs with low environmental impact such as low CO2 emission. For the domestic application, residential fuel cell CHPs were commercialized in Japan in 2009, and their cumulative introduction exceeded 80,000 systems in Japan. And a residential CHP was launched in Germany in 2014. Although commercialization of fuel cells for domestic use has been initiated, further improvement will be required for expansion in introduction number and area. This session covers the latest topics about research and development of fuel cells for domestic use from Japan and Korea.



Pjerrot room, Ground floor Industrial gas utilisation Towards lowest emissions Session chairperson: Moriyoshi Tamura, Senior Researcher, Technology Research Institute, Toho Gas, JAPAN Recently, gas utilization technologies have been more desired to have higher performance, for example high efficiency, CO2 reduction, cost performance and so on. Gas utilization technologies with combustion inevitably emit exhaust gas including the regulated substance, NOx. Generally speaking, improving gas utilization technology with combustion increases the NOx emission. For example, the relation between the high efficiency and NOx emission reduction is trade-off. It is important to sophisticate gas utilization technologies while complying with emission regulations. In this session, several efforts related to NOx emission reduction of gas utilization technologies will be presented.

Carstensen room, Basement Gas transmission & distribution Optimize the use and replacement of your assets to reduce costs Session chairperson: Torstein Indrebø, Secretary General, IGU, NORWAY The gas industry is experiencing major changes in terms of technology, market developments and customer ori-entation. Huge investments are needed to maintain and support a reliable and safe transmission and distribution pipeline network to supply the millions of small and large customers. Mature markets need to replace aging pipeli-nes, and many countries are experiencing a more integrated and short-term energy market that requires increased system flexibility. At the same time, cost must be controlled to ensure the competitiveness and protect the econo-mics of our industry which is both capital intensive and long-term oriented. The session will address these issues with perspectives and experiences from mature and advanced gas markets in The Netherlands, France and USA.



Lumbye room, Basement Gas production Performance improvements of natural gas dehydration processes Session chairperson: Hege Rognø, VP R&D, Statoil, NORWAY One of the key challenges in modern oil and gas production is to control the content of water and other impuri-ties to some allowable limit in natural gas. Use of glycols is of high importance in modern oil and gas production. Glycols are used to dehydrate natural gas to pipeline quality specifications and to prevent hydrates formation during transport of reservoir fluids at low temperature. Glycol carry-over to downstream processes can affect the performance of these processes. Glycols can also reduce the capacity of adsorbents used in downstream proces-sing. In some gas sales contracts, there are gas quality specifications setting limits for glycol content of the natural gas. The papers will address optimized use of glycols in modern oil and gas production, performance improvement of natural gas dehydration processes and a risk-based prediction of nature and dynamics of hydrate formation.

Pjerrot room, Ground floor Industrial gas utilisation Efficiency increase through heat recovery Session chairperson: William Liss, Managing Director, End Use Research, GTI, USA Increasing efficiency is ever more important for the natural gas industry and society as a whole. Advancements in waste heat recovery and utilization can help achieve public policy goals of reducing energy intensity and lowering carbon-based emissions, while also providing customers the opportunity for capturing greater economic value when using natural gas. According to the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis 2012 report (Glo-bal Energy Assessment: Toward a Sustainable Future), nearly 66% of global world energy results in wasted energy losses. This occurs most significantly in the transportation and power generation sectors, but permeates all sectors of energy use. Waste heat recovery and utilization represents the largest and most attractive pathway for achieving energy efficiency advancements and sustainability. This session will highlight examples applied to prime mover systems used for power generation and natural gas compression as well as application of natural gas heat pumps to recover and reuse waste energy for industrial processes.

Lumbye room, Basement Gas production Improvements in shale gas productivity Session chairperson: Edward Johnston, Vice President Research, Gas Technology Institute, USA Shale gas is one of the most rapidly growing forms of natural gas. In 2000 shale gas provided only 1% of U.S. natural gas production; by 2035 it is predicted that 46% of the United States’ natural gas supply will come from shale gas. It is expected that shale gas will greatly expand worldwide energy supply. China is estimated to have the world’s largest shale gas reserves. More recent shale wells are primarily horizontal and need artificial stimulation, like hydraulic fracturing, to produce. There has been made significant advances in the use of horizontal drilling and well stimulation technologies and refinement in the cost-effectiveness of these technologies. Hydraulic fracturing is the most significant of these. The papers will address improvements in design and execution of the hydraulic fracturing efficiency, shale gas reservoir characterization using neural network and methods on shale gas productivity using diagonal fracture injection test.

Pjerrot room, Ground floor Cross-cutting topics Green Gas - economics and integration Session chairperson: Martin Ragnar, CEO, Swedish Gas Technology Centre, SWEDEN Enormous amounts of money have over the past 50 years been spent on investments in efficient transmission grids for natural gas. Natural gas has thereby been able to replace a lot of coal and oil otherwise used for various needs in the society, meaning an important reduction in carbon dioxide emissions and thereby an important step in reducing the greenhouse effect. However, natural gas is still a fossile source and in the sustainable society needs to be phased out in favour of green gases made e.g. by anaerobic digestion or gasification of biomass. The good news is that the gas is chemically the same – methane – making a gradual change from fossile to renewable not only possible, but also desirable. In the current workshop session four aspects on this integration of green gases and their future potential are discussed. With a green gas future there will also be a long-term need for and benefit of the extensive gas transmission grid.

Røkke, Vice President Climate Technology, SINTEF, NORWAY Several gas fields contain high concentrations of CO2 that hinders the economical development of such fields. Different processes are selected based on the application (export gas processing, LNG), and traditionally solvents (amines) have been used to a great extent together with the recent introduction of polymeric membranes. This session deals with new technologies and experiences in gas separation of sour gas mixtures, especially targeting the separation of CO2. Three of the papers concern removal using membranes and membrane contractors ranging from hollow fibre designs to inorganic membranes. One paper focuses on the use of adsorption for CO2 utilising a monolith. Various gas compositions are reported in these papers, representing typical natural gas compositions that can be found. We will hear more about the most recent results and experiences using these technologies and the possible multi-purpose use of them for separating other components as well. The results reported cover various steps in technology readiness level (TRL) ranging from TRL2-3 to 6-7.

What could be the important technology game changers? Session chairperson: Jack Lewnard, Vice President, Chesapeake Utilities Corporation, USA Game-changing technology developments, including development of the LNG supply chain in the 1960’s and more recent advances in unconventional gas production, have produced dramatic advances in the gas industry. Technology game changers may be part of the answer to address three challenges France identified as part of their IGU triennium leadership: sustainability of the gas industry, integration of gas with renewables, and energy for all. This session will pro-vide insights on issues and solutions from within and from outside our industry. Following introductory remarks, we will challenge the speakers and the conference delegates to discuss innovations that “break the rules” in order to resolve these complex problems.

Congress Hall, Ground floor Domestic & commercial gas utilisationGas quality - implications for gas use Session chairperson: Daniel Hec, Secretary General, Marcogaz, BELGIUM Wider variations in gas quality parameters mainly due to a new globalised gas market situation (new gas sources, increased role of biomethane, LNG) are likely to happen in the future. The consequences of fluctuation of some characteristics, especially the Wobbe Index, are complex and challenging issues on both technical and economical aspects. Changes from existing national/local situations need to be carefully assessed and analysed for domestic, commercial and industrial applications looking at safety, efficiency or emissions. Dedicated technical solutions aiming at mitigating the issues identified and improved communication of data between gas suppliers, operators and users will have to be developed. The 4 communications from North America, Asia and Europe presented in this session, will highlight the problems founded and propose solutions.

Pjerrot room, Ground floor Industrial gas utilisation Optimizing industrial processes Session chairperson: Bernard Blez, GDF SUEZ – Research & Technology Division, Senior Vice President of CRIGEN R&D Center, France To continue to develop the share of natural gas on all markets, the gas industry must constantly innovate and invent the most effective solutions. This is particularly true on the highly competitive market of the industry, where economic and environmental constraints are becoming still stronger, particularly in Europe. R&D on industrial utilizations of natural gas is vital to improve and demonstrate the performance of natural gas industrial processes, in terms of energy efficiency, environmental performance and safety. During this oral session, we will discuss three examples corresponding to three key industrial markets: combined heat and power generation, food industry and metal industry. As you will see, these three examples clearly highlight the contribution of R&D to understand the physical and chemical phenomena at the heart of the manufacturing or transformation processes.

Carstensen room, Basement Gas transmission & distribution Evaluation of Polyethylene and Polyamide gas pipes Session chairperson: Terry Williams, Senior Consultant, Orbital, UNITED KINGDOM For several decades there has been a steady increase in the use of plastic pipes for gas distribution networks. There have been many improvements in materials which have increased plastic pipe operating pressures and long-term integrity. In this ses-sion we present the results of investigations into testing methods and materials development which can increase flow capa-city further without compromising safety. A collaborative project between major gas distribution companies has studied the suitability of available non-destructive testing NDT methods for PE pipe joints. This has shown that the levels of Probability of Detection and False Call Rates would be similar to those using NDT data on steel pipes. Polyamide material (PA11 and PA12) has been evaluated for the market in the USA through laboratory and field tests, potentially increasing operating pressures up to 18 bar. A study into deformation and reinforcement of PE100 pipe is presented with a view to developing standard installation procedures.

Currently the scope of the gas supply chain is being extended beyond the burner tip through concepts such as life cycle assessments. Innovations in gas processing are addressing costs for traditional gas processing, and are also being investigated to address newer topics such as carbon capture and methane emissions reduction. In this session we will explore process and hardware developments that address separation requirements across the expanded supply chain.

Congress Hall, Ground floor Important messages from the world of gas technology Session chairperson: Marc Florette, Digital Director, GDF Suez, FRANCE Natural gas is destined to play an increasing role in the future global energy mix. Existing gas use will be made more efficient, and gas will spread to new application areas and new regions of the world. Natural gas will help eradicate the energy poverty and help curb the worldwide emission of green-house gases. Technology will be essential in achieving these goals, and technology will be the key to the future business model for gas growth. At IGRC2014 we have ende-avored to map out the technology future together. In this closing session we will review the most important results and make visions for the future of gas technology. And very importantly: we will get to know who will be the winners of the IGRC2014 awards. Finally, we will be invited to IGRC2017 in Brazil.

Energy Battle

The NRG Battle - World Edition will take place during IGRC2014. During the event, multidisciplinary teams of ta-lented young minds are brought together to solve real energy challenges for some of the biggest names in the field. This year, Energy Battle features challenges from BASF, GDF Suez, DNV-GL, and Gasunie. Teams present their ideas in front of a jury of experts. The stakes are high - the winners receive tickets for a trip around the world.
