Said by president of Internationa Union (IGU) Dr. Abdul Rahim Hashim during the openining that Another chapter is created in the annals of International Gas Union’s (IGU) history with the awarding of Presidency of IGU to Malaysia. For only the second time, an Asian country has been given the mantle of IGU’s leadership and with it, the privilege to host the premier global event within the gas industry. The 25th World Gas Conference, to be held in Kuala Lumpur, will be the culmination of the various studies and programmes undertaken during the course of the 2009 - 2012 Triennium, for the betterment and development of gas industry worldwide.
The shift of the Presidency of IGU from the South American region also mirrors the global nature of the gas industry. Asia is home to more than half the world’s human population as well as some of the major producers and consumers of natural gas. And with the fact that it houses areas of potentially very high economic growth, Asia is and will be the focus of interest for the whole world.
At the same time, natural gas will continue to play a vital role in meeting the world’s expanding energy needs while helping to cut greenhouse gas emissions, a persistent threat to global growth, life and environmental sustainability. Despite intense interests to accelerate the development of ‘green energy’ for the creation of low carbon economy, natural gas is expected to continue its dominance as the fuel of choice in the coming decades.
Against this backdrop, the Malaysian Presidency has set the theme “Gas: Sustaining Future Global Growth” as the foundation for the work during the 2009-2012 Triennium. The theme inherently portrays gas as the engine for global growth which has to be sustained in its availability through innovation, technology and competent human capital. With the continuous support of IGU and its fraternity, we are committed to continuing the standards of excellence as set by past presidency and steer IGU towards greater height with the successful organisation of the 25th World Gas Conference.
Malaysia is honoured to be given the privilege to host such a prestigious event and we look forward to welcoming you all to visit this beautiful country and meet its warm people. Kuala Lumpur will serve as the perfect host city with its excellent blend of cultural heritage and modern facilities. As the venue for the event WGC2012 Concept Village will be a model of integrated efficiency where all participants and visitors alike will be assured of pleasant and seamless event experience.
On behalf of the Malaysian National Organising Committee and International Gas Union, it gives me great pleasure to invite all of you to participate at the 25th World Gas Conference in Kuala Lumpur on 4 – 8 June 2012.
