It is heartening to know that City Gas Asia 2013 covers various facets and challenges typical to the sub-continent’s CGD industry. The broad range of topics covered by expert speakers from investments to operations & safety should be an enriching experience to attendees. The CGD community would have an unparalleled chance to discover industry best practices and technologies deployed to address challenges.

City Gas Asia 2013 is an opportunity for various stakeholders of CGD business to understand the issues, concerns, trends etc. and address them through a blend of speakers of international repute. Delegates will get an opportunity to grasp a readymade capsule on CGD business which is highly energized with the existing practices, future trends and new ideas for further research & development in this well-tailored conference.

Emphasis is shifting to the increased use of PNG for residential, industrial and commercial applications in Asia as natural gas is cheaper, relatively abundant and environment-friendly. India and China, where penetration of gas distribution is the lowest, are doubling their investments and capacities: India - with an additional 14,000 km length of city gas distribution network to be completed before 2015, at an investment of USD 7 billion and China - doubling its natural gas consumption before 2015 to 20 billion cu.mt from 8 billion cu.mt.

Established markets such as Hong Kong, S. Korea, Japan and Singapore are seeking to improve the PNG consumption by implementing innovative and energy efficient gas based appliances.

5 Interactive panel discussions moderated by industry experts

A: Urban underground components for efficient construction/operation of CGD infrastructure

B: Minimising T & D losses by enhancing institutional skills and early technology adoption

C: Improving PNG’s commercial viability: developing gas-based appliances

D: Relevance and need for integrating new trends in O & M of CGD infrastructure

E: Ensuring commercial success while developing new gas distribution infrastructure

With So Much Opportunity, There Are Fresh Challenges Faced By The Stakeholders:

• ensuring unhindered gas supply
• investing into infrastructure which has a longer ROI period
