About Gastech 2022
A landmark event in the industry’s calendar, Gastech 2022 will shape the future of energy by bringing the industry together to discuss the global energy agenda.

They will convey their unique perspectives on the current state of the energy industry and ambitions for how it will evolve over the coming decades.
Gastech 2022 took place in the post COP-26 environment already marked by an emergence from a pandemic, an economic recovery, and more pressure for increased emissions reductions. The world expects the energy industry to respond.
The industry itself is faced with the challenges of increasing global demand for energy alongside calls for urgent action on emissions management.
Energy demand fundamentals indicate that natural gas will continue to play a key role in the future energy mix, whilst hydrogen presents a new dimension to the energy system, creating huge opportunities across the value chain.
Ideally timed ten months post COP-26 Gastech Milan will provide a forum for exhibitors, sponsors, and speakers, to showcase to a global audience, their solutions to the challenges faced on the journey to net-zero.
