The World LP Gas Forum in Doha

The World LP Gas Association (WLPGA) is the authoritative voice of the global LP Gas industry representing all sectors of the industry. WLPGA’s primary aim is to add value to the sector through driving premium demand for LP Gas, while promoting compliance to good business and safety practices. It brings together private and public companies involved in one, several, or all activities of the industry, develops partnerships with international organisations and implements projects on local and global scales. WLPGA was established in 1987 and granted Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council in 1989.

INDUSTRY COUNCIL

Large member companies initiated the creation of an Industry Council and inaugurated it into the framework of WLPGA in 1996. This Council provides a platform for international LP Gas organisations to identify and address issues pertinent to the industry on a global scale. It is also the arena for the development of strategies and to devise and develop global industry projects. Industry Council members’ decisions and actions are the catalyst to increase the worldwide recognition and use of LP Gas. They also make recommendations to the WLPGA Board of Directors.

INDUSTRY NETWORKS: GAIN, GLOTEC AND CCWG

Key industry networks have been created by the Industry Council and the Board to focus attention on growing segments of our industry. The first is the Global Autogas Industry Network (GAIN) that promotes the use of Autogas worldwide. The second is the Global Technology Network (GLOTEC) that encourages an exchange of technological innovation within the industry. The third is the Climate Change Working Group (CCWG), that works to educate, inform and represent the industry within the context of the global climate change debate. These networks are also dedicated to expanding the market, increasing the awareness of LP Gas and promoting the use of it. GAIN, GLOTEC and the CCWG forge and coordinate relationships with all industry stakeholders.

LP GAS: “DELIVERING A FUTURE OF EXCEPTIONAL ENERGY”

The 24^th World LP Gas Forum in Doha will focus on uniting the full spectrum of LP Gas industry players – from traders, shippers, marketers, distributors, retailers and a complete range of service providers – under one globally recognized brand. The Exceptional Energy brand positions the industry in a positive, clear and consistent manner to promote a strong global message that is synonymous with a cleaner, safer, and healthier low carbon world. It also creates a positive context for key opinion leaders and regulators when considering future energy policy and is a powerful tool for increasing the understanding of LPG’s environmental benefits, myriad uses and immediate availability.
The global roll-out for Exceptional Energy is designed to ensure the brand remains supplier neutral and geographically tailored through the translation of the website into several languages and the development of a comprehensive suite of regional and sector focused case studies. The essence of this Forum is to ensure the industry speaks with one voice to deliver a bright future of Exceptional Energy and the WLPGA is committed to equip the industry with the tools to be able to achieve this.
