Welcome to the Global Gas Centre

About us

The Global Gas Centre (GGC) is a non-profit organization, based in Geneva, dedicated to executives and experts across the global gas value chain who want to share knowledge, views, and best practices on a neutral, independent, and inclusive platform. The GGC is a unique organization that aims to promote sustainable energy and support the global energy transition with a particular focus on issues related to the gas sector.

 

GGC

What is the GGC?

The Global Gas Centre (GGC) is a dynamic international platform focused on the strategic priorities of the evolving gas sector and its role in the global energy transition. Our programme is shaped collaboratively with members and reflects their shared interests through:

  • In-depth discussions on the role of natural, low-carbon, and renewable gases in sustainable energy systems, emphasizing innovation, decarbonization, and new technologies.
  • A broad scope of activities, welcoming participants from across the energy value chain with a professional interest in the future of gas.
  • A yearly programme of closed-door meetings and expert-led workshops offering strategic insights on global and regional developments.
  • Strategic engagement with key institutions and expert networks, fostering fact-based, solution-oriented dialogue on sustainable energy solutions and energy transition pathways.

By creating space for open exchange in a trusted and compliant setting, the GGC supports its members in navigating today’s challenges and shaping tomorrow’s energy landscape.

Global Gas Centre

The GGC is headquartered in Geneva, a city that offers several strategic advantages:

  • Switzerland's neutral status provides a stable and independent environment.
  • Proximity to numerous international organizations and associations. In this regard, the GGC signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in 2016.
  • Geneva’s international character and excellent connectivity, with a centrally located airport offering easy access to major cities worldwide.
  • Its status as a leading global hub for commodity trading, attracting many energy companies to establish offices in the city.

Our Network

Global Gas Centre

We believe that natural gas has an important role to play in the future energy mix and the global energy transition to a lower carbon economy. This work cannot be done in isolation, and our approach is to continually expand and develop our network of partners in order to enable the gas industry to play its part in the wider global energy sector.

In the Global Gas Centre, we aim at fostering exchange with stakeholders from all across the energy industry. A special focus is also put on innovation with dedicated workshops/seminars on current research projects to pave the way for the decarbonisation of gas, and to ensure that all gases (biomethane, biogas ang hydrogen) can contribute to mitigate climate change.

The role of gas trade and its importance to international trade in global commodities is reflected in our memorandum of understanding with UNCTAD; the GGC closely collaborates with UNCTAD in the Global Commodities Forum which is held every two years.

Our partnership with the International Society for Energy Transition Studies (ISETS) allows our members to be up to date with the latest developments in the energy transition in Asia-Pacific. The ISETS is a worldwide non-profit professional organisation based in Australia, which has members in over 30 nations and international organisations. ISETS was found by a group of 31 energetic and internationally acclaimed professionals who have extensive experiences in energy, environment and other sustainable development issues and three energy institutes. 

In addition, we cooperate closely with the Strategic Minds Company (formerly known as Bingmann Pflüger International), one of Germany’s leading strategy consultancies specializing in energy, commodities and infrastructure. Since 2019, the GGC and the SMC/BPI jointly organize the annual Berlin Gas Session and an Energy Dialogue at the Reichstag, which traditionally takes place in March, to discuss the most pressing strategic energy issues between industry players, leading political decision-makers and key influencers.

Moreover, we are committed to collaborate with academia and the energy policy community as a whole, and have begun a number of partnerships with academic institutions and international think-tanks, such as ISETS or EPRINC (Energy Policy Research Foundation Inc., based in Washington DC).
