Gastech 2026 will convene in Bangkok to address the rapid growth of energy demand across Asia. The event focuses on strengthening energy security through LNG investment, grid electrification, and the deployment of low carbon technologies to support regional economic growth. The conference will also introduce AixEnergy, a new program examining the intersection of AI infrastructure and electricity demand. Industry leaders and government ministers will discuss practical pathways for scaling energy systems and improving infrastructure resilience in a volatile geopolitical climate.

The mention of AI infrastructure driving electricity demand is the real story here. Data centers are putting massive pressure on local grids. I wonder if they will actually discuss specific interconnection timelines or just trade vague promises about resilience.

Agreed. The gap between announcing a conference and implementing a procurement rule for grid upgrades is huge. It would be useful to see if Thailand is changing its regulatory framework to allow for faster private investment in these systems.

Another big event focusing on LNG. It is a necessary bridge for some, but the low carbon labels on these conferences often hide the fact that we are still building massive fossil fuel lock in for the next few decades.

They talk about system transformation, but I do not see any mention of industrial efficiency or heat recovery. You can build all the LNG terminals you want, but if the industrial base is leaking energy, you are just chasing your tail.
