Andrea Stegher, President of the International Gas Union, emphasized during the 8th Symposium of the Algerian Gas Industry Association in Oran that Algeria represents a leading model in the field of liquefied natural gas (LNG). He praised its long-standing expertise and infrastructure, which he described as a “strategic asset.”
Stegher noted that gas is not merely a fuel but a fundamental element for achieving a sustainable and affordable energy transition. He stressed that gas is the optimal solution to meet the growing energy demand resulting from the expansion of artificial intelligence and data centers, while ensuring a reduction in carbon emissions.
The President of the International Gas Union also called for increased investment in infrastructure and digitalization, commending Algeria’s experience in building long-term partnerships that have enhanced reliability in the international market.
The symposium saw the participation of more than 700 experts and representatives from major companies, including Sonatrach and Sonelgaz, to discuss the role of innovation and hydrogen in a sustainable gas industry.
