STUDY GROUPS AND SUB-TASK FORCES:
The committee will organize three study groups and two sub-task forces that will focus on the following:
1 Research Radar: This group will focus on the identification of current R&D topics along the gas chain. The group will work with all relevant working groups including exploration and production, storage, transport, distribution and utilization.
2 Supporting Natural Gas Marketing Through Innovations: This group will select examples of technologies that improve the general acceptance for natural gas as a fuel including the following:
• Power to gas and convergence of energy systems
• Efficiency increases through advanced technologies
• Gases from renewables (biogas, hydrogen) and carbon management
3 Gas Driven Mobility: This group will examine the potential of natural gas as a transportation fuel. The focus will be on innovative technology using LNG or hydrogen or hythane. This includes non-road vehicles such as ships, train engines and airplanes, and the related business models in logistics.
Sub-Task Forces:
- Renewables, CO2 Emissions and Hydrogen
- Gas Quality
