As the global community continues to grapple with the coronavirus (COVID-19), the Atlantic Council is open for business. Our business, meetings, and events, however, are occurring virtually. For more information, please read an update from our President and CEO.
Please join the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center for a virtual private launch of the International Energy Agency’s (IEA’s) Quarterly Gas Market Report on Tuesday, October 5th, 2021, from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm ET. Jean-Baptiste Dubreuil, Senior Natural Gas Analyst, and Gergely Molnar, Natural Gas Analyst at the IEA, will present the main findings of the report, followed by a panel discussion with Leslie Palti-Guzman, Co-Founder and President of GasVista LLC, and Q&A session with the audience. Ambassador Richard Morningstar, Founding Chairman at the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center, will moderate the discussion.
The volatility of the global gas market during the height of COVID-19 in 2020 has continued into 2021, and persisting uncertainties around the trajectory of the post-pandemic economic recovery, sectoral fuel switching dynamics, and a challenging investment environment complicate the market’s outlook as the winter market squeeze looms and threatens a gas supply crisis. In the midst of record gas prices, the IEA’s new Quarterly Gas Market Report analyzes the main drivers and implications of recent gas market trends and provides a short-term forecast for the market heading into the winter. We hope you will join this virtual discussion to explore recent market trends and the future outlook for global gas supply, demand, and security.
You will be able to join this conversation via the web application Zoom, which is accessible through your web browser, the Zoom desktop or mobile app, and by phone. Please RSVP below to receive Zoom information and to view a full program agenda.
For any questions or additional information, please contact David W. Yellen at dyellen@atlanticcouncil.org.
