Why this course?
The Postgraduate Certificate in Global Gas and LNG Management is a critical qualification for professionals navigating the evolving energy landscape. With the UK transitioning to cleaner energy sources, natural gas and LNG remain pivotal in bridging the gap between fossil fuels and renewables. In 2022, the UK imported 45.6 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas, with LNG accounting for 21% of total gas imports, according to the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS). This underscores the growing importance of LNG in ensuring energy security and meeting decarbonization goals.
Professionals equipped with expertise in global gas and LNG management are well-positioned to address industry challenges, such as supply chain optimization, pricing volatility, and sustainability integration. The certificate program aligns with current trends, including the rise of small-scale LNG projects and the increasing adoption of digital technologies in energy management.
