Australia’s selection as the host nation for LNG2029 is more than a ceremonial achievement. It signals international confidence in the strength, capability, and future direction of Australia’s LNG industry. As the world continues to navigate significant shifts in energy markets, the decision reflects the strategic importance of Australia’s role in global supply and industry leadership.
For decades, Australia has been one of the world’s most reliable LNG producers, contributing to energy security across Asia and beyond. Hosting LNG2029 acknowledges this contribution and reinforces the value of Australia’s infrastructure, engineering expertise, regulatory framework, and operational performance. It also highlights the country’s ability to innovate and adapt in a rapidly transitioning energy environment.
The timing is symbolic. By 2029, Australia will mark 40 years since exporting its first LNG cargo. This milestone creates a powerful narrative for the conference: celebrating four decades of achievement while looking ahead to the next phase of the industry. As countries reassess energy strategies and seek lower-emission pathways, LNG remains an important transitional fuel. Australia is positioned to play a leadership role in shaping how LNG supports economic development, decarbonisation, and energy reliability.
Hosting LNG2029 will:
With global LNG trade continuing to expand, and with increasing focus on efficiency, emissions, and new technologies, LNG2029 offers Australia a unique opportunity to help direct the global conversation. It will bring decision-makers, technical leaders, and industry innovators to Australian shores at a pivotal time for energy markets.
Ultimately, Australia hosting LNG2029 is not just recognition of past performance—it is a strategic opportunity to lead the dialogue on the future of LNG and the broader energy transition.
