RemarksGlobal Voice of Gas

The International Gas Union (IGU) was founded in 1931,[1] and is registered in Vevey, Switzerland with the Secretariat located in London, United Kingdom.[2]

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

Ever since its establishment almost a century ago, the IGU has constantly advocated for the role of Gas for human progress and global growth, serving as the spokesperson for the Gas industry worldwide.
