Future of Gas Expert Panel

Together with AGN and MGN we established an expert panel to consider the Future of Gas and to design a set of plausible scenarios for the future of gas, on which we based our modelling work.

The panel was comprised of nine industry experts and the discussions were facilitated by consulting firm KPMG. The scope of the panel was to:

  • Co-design four plausible scenarios for the future energy system, including the role of gas.
  • Produce a qualitative description and drivers for each scenario.
  • Ensure the designs produced four plausible scenarios rather than predictions or preferences for the future.

This approach was designed to leverage the independence and expertise of each panel member. Their diverse backgrounds ensured the discussions on all scenarios considered the relevant political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal drivers.

The Expert Panel came together in four workshops of three hours. For each of the 4 scenarios they proposed, the panel explored key industry trends and drivers, developed high-level narratives, outlined assumptions and enablers and graded the potential economic outcomes.

Our independent facilitators, KPMG, prepared a report on the Future of Gas Expert Panel’s work, which can be found on the Gas Matters portal.
