International Gas Union
NGV Global is officially affiliated with the International Gas Union (IGU). The objective of IGU is to promote the technical and economic progress of the gas industry. The members of IGU are associations and entities of the gas industries in 73 countries. It cooperates with many global energy organisations. IGU’s working organisation covers all domains of the gas industry from exploration and production of natural gas on- or offshore, pipeline and piped distribution systems to customers’ premises and combustion of the gas at the point of use.
Within the IGU is a Study Group (5.3) specifically dedicated to Natural Gas Vehicles (NGVs) of which NGV Global is a participating member. The Study Group works on a three year triennium program, in sync with the IGU’s three year triennium cycle. The current cycle commenced in 2009 and will conclude in 2012. The draft theme for SG 5.3 for the current triennium is “Methane – Transportation Fuel of the XXI Century.”
Participation in the Study Group is open to all NGV industry members from any country. Interested participants can contact the Study Group Chairman, Mr Eugene Pronin by email for details of how to participate. NGV Global members can also view documentation from the Study Group within the portal on the IGU SG 5.3 page (login required).
