Gavin Sutcliffe, head of content for Gastech, remarks;

"It's a dynamic, flourishing time for the natural gas and LNG industry, particularly in Asia where demand is growing so rapidly. Asian consumers see gas as a clean, flexible and efficient energy source for the future as nuclear and coal become increasingly sidelined due to environmental and safety concerns. With Gastech coming to Korea, the industry demonstrates that gas and LNG are the fuels of the future to supply growing Asian needs for clean and cheap energy."
