IGU Awards
Best Practices for the Natural Gas Industry
The IGU includes in its mission statement the promotion of "Best Practices" in the global gas industry, with the objective of increasing its competitiveness and reliability as a key energy source. For this reason, the call for papers for WGC2012 (now closed) included a special consideration for those submissions the authors believed constituted a best practice in the particular area or activity considered. The winner of the Best Practice award will be announced at the WGC2012 conference in June 2012.
IGU Social Gas Award
The IGU considers increasing the awareness of gas efficient behaviour and encouraging this behaviour as an important way of contributing to a sustainable energy future and executing responsibility in this field. The IGU Social Gas Award has been established in order to call for new ideas and projects aimed at stimulating people to act in a more gas efficient manner. The best project, which is deemed new, feasible and achievable and which provides the most substantial improvement to gas efficient behaviour, will be awarded the prize at the conference in Kuala Lumpur in June 2012. More information can be found on the IGU website (www.igu.org/knowledge/gas).
