What is the GGC?
WEC Partnership
Welcome to the Global Gas Centre
The Global Gas Centre (GGC) is a non-profit organization, based in Geneva, dedicated to executives and experts of natural gas companies who want to share views and best practices on a neutral, independent and inclusive organization. The GGC is a unique platform with the objective of promoting sustainable energy with a particular focus on issues related to the natural gas sector.
Our programme is based on the priorities and interests of the gas sector.
International & European perspectives via specific gas sessions at global events.
The scope of the GGC is worldwide and open to all companies who wish to engage in dialogue and foster international gas cooperation.
The GGC has a specific partnership with the World Energy Council (WEC). It favours and facilitates the dialogue amongst multi-stakeholders in the energy world. Present in almost 100 countries, the WEC informs global, regional and national energy strategies and works through its extensive member network to facilitate a global energy policy dialogue. This partnership with the WEC is also strengthening the dialogue between governments and gas companies.
The GGC is based in Geneva, which benefits from:
The neutral status of Switzerland.
Proximity with the international organizations and associations. In this regard, the GGC signed in 2016 an Memorandum of Understanding with UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development).
International environment of Geneva, which is easily accessible and well connected to many cities with a central airport.
Status of this city as one of the most important hub for the trading of commodities, which means that many energy companies have offices in Geneva.
