Registration for IGRC2027 is now open. Join researchers, industry leaders, decision-makers and innovators from around the world for the 18th International Gas Research Conference, in Budapest, Hungary, on 24–28 May 2027.

Discover the latest research and innovation, connect with leading experts and decision-makers, and explore the technologies shaping the future of Gas.

The Gas industry must evolve to meet the demands of a rapidly changing world. Its success hinges on the representation of different genders, generations and geographies.

IGRC2027 brings together East and West to demonstrate that diverse regional energy pathways can contribute into a coherent, global strategy built on Gas. The Conference’s core message is that Gas, including natural gas, low-emission, decarbonised and renewable gases – such as hydrogen, biomethane, synthetic gas —is not a legacy fuel but a platform for future energy innovation.

Rapid decarbonisation, system flexibility and energy security all depend on a multi-Gas ecosystem supported by modernised, repurposed and digitised infrastructure. Regions have different priorities including economic growth, regulatory ambition, technological leadership and energy independence. These priorities can create complementary strengths rather than contradictions. Innovation in methane mitigation, low-emission Gas production, and digital optimisation is no longer theoretical but commercially real and globally scalable.

IGRC2027 interprets innovation in a broad sense, placing equal emphasis on technological, commercial, policy and social innovation to highlight the central role of Gas across the energy landscape. Policy must recognise these different pathways if energy systems are to remain affordable and stable while meeting climate goals.

A balanced energy evolution requires technology, regulation and markets to progress together, rather than in isolation. IGRC2027 will showcase practical solutions that bridge regional differences and support cross-border cooperation. Ultimately, our goal is to change global perceptions: the future energy system will succeed because Gas has transformed and  become part of a cleaner, smarter and more diverse energy system.
