Doha: The Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), the global platform of the leading gas-producing nations, has announced the season-opener of its prestigious Gas Lecture Series, with the first lecture in 2021 taking place tomorrow (March 1) at 11 am Doha time.
The lecture will be delivered by Joseph McMonigle, the Secretary-General of the International Energy Forum (IEF), on the topic of ‘The Role of Gas in Clean, Reliable, and Sustainable Growth’.
Riyadh-based IEF is the world’s largest international organisation of energy ministers from 70 countries, including both energy-producing and consuming nations. The GECF and IEF enjoy a longstanding history of collaboration dating back to 2010.
A 20-year veteran of the energy industry in the public and private sectors, McMonigle took the helm of the IEF in July 2020. Prior to becoming Secretary-General, he was the President and Co-Founder of The Abraham Group, a leading international energy sector management consulting firm based in Washington DC as well as a senior energy analyst for Hedgeye Risk Management based in Stamford, Connecticut, US.
This will be the 49th lecture in the GECF Gas Lecture Series. The GECF lectures, and workshops, and other public events, feature policymakers and experts who share their knowledge and insights on contemporary issues related to the gas industry and its relationship with geopolitics, the economy, and climate change.
These activities form part of the GECF’s long-term strategy to promote natural gas as the fuel of choice for sustainable development.
