The future of LNG in the energy transition
LNG is not the final destination in the journey toward a sustainable energy future, but a vital transition fuel that bridges the gap between traditional fossil fuels and cleaner, low carbon energy sources. As the global energy system pivots to meet decarbonization goals, LNG plays a key role in ensuring energy security while supporting the shift toward lower-carbon solutions. At New Energy Business School, we recognize LNG as an essential player in this transition, providing a reliable energy source during the move towards fully sustainable energy systems.
Join us for our intensive LNG course, designed for professionals seeking to better understand how LNG can serve as a crucial stepping stone in the energy transition. Led by internationally recognized LNG experts, this programme will take you through every aspect of the LNG value chain, with an eye on its evolving role in the global energy landscape, particularly in Europe.
What You Will Gain
- Gain a deep understanding of LNG’s role as a transition fuel in the global energy system.
- Learn how LNG can be integrated today and bio-LNG tomorrow into the broader energy mix.
- Explore new business opportunities in the LNG sector, with a focus on sustainable energy solutions.
- Learn practical skills for developing LNG projects that align with the goals of the energy transition.
- Participate in a virtual visit to an LNG terminal in Barcelona, gaining insights into its operations and the technology behind it.
Course Overview
Our course brings together experts from business, academia, and policy to deliver a comprehensive view of LNG’s value chain. We explore LNG not as an endpoint, but as a critical transition fuel that helps stabilize the energy market during the shift to low-carbon energy systems. The programme covers all aspects of LNG—from production to transport to its role in Europe’s energy future.

What’s included in the Intensive Course LNG
When you join this course, you’ll receive one year of access to all course materials via our dedicated Online Learning Platform, so you can revisit what you’ve learned whenever you need to. Upon completion, you’ll receive a digital certificate of participation, which can easily be added to your LinkedIn profile. Each day includes a well-catered lunch, and two group dinners offer the chance to connect informally with fellow participants. One of the highlights: a Spanish cooking workshop where you’ll prepare a meal together, an engaging and fun way to unwind and network.
You’ll also take part in a unique site visit to the LNG terminal in Barcelona, gaining first-hand insight into large-scale operations at the heart of Europe’s gas infrastructure.
Accommodation is not included, but our event managers are happy to advise on hotel options. A dedicated event manager will be present throughout the programme to ensure everything runs smoothly and to assist you with any questions along the way.
