Goals / Remit
The International Gas Union (IGU) was founded in 1931. It is a worldwide non-profit organisa-tion registered in Vevey, Switzerland with the Secretariat currently located in Oslo, Norway.
The mission of IGU is to advocate for gas as an integral part of a sustainable global energy sys-tem, and to promote the political, technical and economic progress of the gas industry. The more than 140 members of IGU are associations and corporations of the gas industry representing over 95% of the global gas market. The working organisation of IGU covers the complete value of gas chain from exploration and production, transmission via pipelines and liquefied natural gas (LNG) as well as distribution and combustion of the gas at 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 has the vision of being the most influential, effective and independent non-profit organisa-tion, serving as the spokesperson for the gas industry worldwide.Main EU files targeted
