International Gas Union

What is IGU?

As of January 2024, the IGU has 80 Charter members, 13 Premium Associate Members and 57 Associate Members on 5 Continents.  The International Gas Union (IGU) was founded in 1931. It is a worldwide organisation registered in Vevey, Switzerland with the Secretariat located in London, UK.

 

The IGU represents the global gas industry with more than 150 members in over 80 countries, covering over 90% of the global gas market. The working organisation of IGU covers the complete gas value chain, from the supply of natural and decarbonised gas, renewable gas and hydrogen, through their transmission and distribution, and all the way to the point of use.

 

IGU encourages international trade in gas by supporting non-discriminatory policies and sound contracting principles and practices, promoting development of technologies which add to the environmental benefits of gas and further enhance safe production, transmission, distribution and utilisation of gas.

 

IGU strives to be the most credible, effective, and independent organisation, serving as the spokesperson for the gas industry worldwide.

 

The IGU also organises the world’s leading international gas events, including the World Gas Conference (WGC), the International Gas Research Conference, and the World LNG conference series.
