The future of LNG in the energy transition
LNG is not the final destination in the transition towards a sustainable energy system. It does, however, play an important role as a transition fuel, bridging the gap between more carbon-intensive energy sources and lower-carbon alternatives.
As the global energy system evolves in response to decarbonisation targets, LNG contributes to both energy security and system flexibility. It enables diversification of supply and supports the integration of renewable energy sources. At New Energy Business School, LNG is therefore approached as part of a broader transition: a fuel that supports the shift towards a more sustainable and resilient energy system.
This intensive course is designed for professionals who want to better understand LNG’s role within this changing landscape. Led by internationally recognised experts, the programme covers the full LNG value chain, with specific attention to its evolving role in the global energy system and in Europe.

Course Overview
This course brings together experts from industry, academia and policy to provide a comprehensive perspective on the LNG value chain. It combines technical knowledge with insights into market dynamics, pricing mechanisms and geopolitical developments.
LNG is not approached as an end point, but as part of the transition towards lower-carbon energy systems. The programme covers the full value chain, from production and liquefaction to transport, regasification and end use, with a particular focus on Europe.
About the programme
The programme offers a structured and in-depth understanding of LNG within the context of the global energy system. Participants gain insight into both the technical and strategic dimensions of LNG, including infrastructure, markets and policy.
By combining lectures, discussions and practical experiences, the programme supports participants in applying their knowledge directly in a professional context.
After this programme you will be able to:
- Understand the global LNG landscape and its role in the energy transition, including market dynamics, pricing mechanisms and geopolitical developments.
- Navigate the LNG value chain, from production and liquefaction to transport, regasification and end use, and recognise key opportunities and challenges.
- Analyse Europe’s LNG infrastructure and its contribution to energy security, market flexibility and decarbonisation.
- Evaluate the role of alternative fuels such as bio-LNG and e-LNG within a lower-carbon energy system.
- Assess the application of LNG in road and maritime transport, including relevant technical and regulatory developments.
- Apply insights from the site visit to better understand LNG operations, infrastructure and asset management in practice.
What’s included in the Intensive Course LNG
Participants receive one year of access to all course materials via the online learning platform, enabling continued learning after the programme. Upon completion, a digital certificate of participation is provided, which can be added to LinkedIn.
Each course day includes lunch, and two group dinners offer opportunities for informal interaction with fellow participants. The social programme also includes a Spanish cooking workshop.
A key component of the programme is the site visit to the Enagás LNG terminal in Barcelona, providing direct insight into large-scale LNG operations within the European energy system.
Accommodation is not included. Event managers are available to advise on suitable hotel options. A dedicated event manager will be present throughout the programme to support participants and ensure smooth delivery.
