ENA Gas Seminar 2010
The ENA Gas Seminar will be held in Canberra on 12 October 2010 at Old Parliament House.

Natural gas is at a crossroads in Australia. Is natural gas the next big thing or has its time come and gone? Or is gas the right fuel for the times in moving from existing emissions intensive fossil fuels towards emerging renewable energy technologies?

This seminar will look at the future for natural gas in Australia. It will provide an opportunity to debate these key propositions and to present the industry’s vision and strategy. The entire gas industry will be represented from production and pipelines to networks, markets and new appliances.
