The American Gas Association, host organization for LNG 17 — the 17th International Conference & Exhibition on Liquefied Natural Gas — taking place in April of 2013 in Houston, is seeking expressions of interest and support directed at enlarging the natural gas vehicle profile at this forthcoming event. In the past, LNG for transportation has played a very small role in the conference. For LNG 17, both the NGV industry and the conference organizers would like to have LNG for transportation play a much larger role in both the conference program and the exhibition. NGVAmerica has been asked by the conference organizers to help facilitate that effort.
This event is held every three years under the auspices of the International Gas Union (IGU), the Gas Technology Institute (GTI) and the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR). For the LNG industry, it’s a big deal.
“While 2013 is a little down the line, planning efforts for that event have already started, so we have to start, too”, says Rich Kolodziej, president of NGVAmerica. “At this point, we’re just trying to put together a mailing list of individuals who would be interested in some aspect of this conference. As we get closer, there will be more activity around planning the LNG vehicle papers/sessions and an LNG vehicle pavilion in the exhibit hall.”
Please email your expression of interest to Rich Kolodziej at NGVAmerica.
