Samil PwC to Host Seminar on "Rediscovering LNG in the Era of Energy Transition"

Reevaluating the Strategic Value of LNG
Industry Outlook, Technology Trends, and Response Strategies Discussed

On November 25, Samil PricewaterhouseCoopers announced that it will host a seminar titled "Rediscovering LNG in the Era of Energy Transition" at 2 p.m. on December 11 at Amore Hall, located on the second floor of its headquarters in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

As global decarbonization trends and the need for energy security are emerging simultaneously, the strategic value of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is drawing attention. This is due to expectations that LNG will serve as a "bridge fuel" for the transition to renewable energy. In particular, South Korea urgently needs to establish a balanced energy strategy to expand renewable energy and achieve its carbon neutrality goals.

This seminar is designed to provide an in-depth analysis and discussion of LNG's new role and the outlook for power generation projects during the energy transition. The seminar will consist of two sessions: ▲ The New Role of LNG ▲ Concerns and Expectations for LNG Power Generation.
