The AEGPL Congress is the biggest LPG event in Europe and a recognized opportunity for the industry to meet. The Congress is typically divided into an exhibition area, created for companies to exhibit their products, and a conference area where high-level panels discuss the most prominent business and policy issues.
Over 100 companies were present at the exhibition and promoted cutting-edge products and services for all sectors of the LPG industry. Exhibitors had the opportunity to exchange contacts, do business, and witness the most advanced solutions presented by companies from all over the World.
At the same time, the conference featured 36 high-level speakers including Thorsten Herdan, Director-General for energy policy – heating and efficiency – in the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy; and Günther Oettinger, European Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society and former Commissioner for Energy. The speakers highlighted the strengths of the LPG sector, its contribution in reaching the EU climate targets and the areas in which it can further grow.
The discussions at the conference were very lively with the 300 participating delegates engaging with the members of the different panels and providing an exciting exchange of views. The AEGPL Congress panels of experts discussed issues such as the challenges and opportunities faced by LPG; the current policy context; or the best practices in the industry.
