Regarding the conference

At present, the global energy landscape is undergoing profound adjustments, with the energy transition accelerating, energy supply becoming increasingly diversified, and green and low-carbon development emerging as a global consensus. As a clean, efficient, and flexible high-quality energy source, liquefied natural gas (LNG) occupies an important position in the energy supply system. Benefiting from its energy efficiency, remarkable environmental performance, and wide application scenarios, LNG continues to be widely favored. Influenced by a combination of multiple factors—including intensified global geopolitical conflicts, higher technological barriers, and the low-carbon transition of the energy sector—the LNG market has experienced significant price volatility, fluctuating infrastructure utilization rates, and a rapid restructuring of trade patterns. While the LNG industry faces new challenges, it is also embracing new opportunities. To pool global expertise and resources in the LNG field, to conduct in-depth discussions on the development strategies and directions of the entire LNG industry chain, to seize opportunities, meet challenges, and promote international exchanges and deeper cooperation, the Sixth China LNG Conference & LNG Equipment and Materials Technology Achievement Exhibition is scheduled to be held in Tianjin from March 18 to 20, 2026.

The purpose of the conference is to establish a high-level and broad-scope platform for practical exchange and cooperation, to comprehensively summarize the new progress and achievements of China's LNG industry since the last conference, to provide an in-depth interpretation of LNG market opportunities and policy guidance, and to analyze the profound impacts of geopolitics, climate factors, energy transition, and technological innovation on LNG resources, markets, and trade. The conference will extensively discuss key technical issues, including innovations in LNG value-chain operation models, low-carbon liquefaction processes, construction of ultra-large storage tanks, and R&D of core equipment and materials, and will promote and showcase the latest technological achievements. It will also thoroughly explore development pathways for the LNG industry amid the great changes unseen in a century, strengthen international cooperation and trade, promote sustainable development of the global LNG industry, and help countries achieve their energy security strategies.
