THE GCC stands at a defining moment in its energy journey, not simply due to rising demand but because the region has a historic opportunity to reshape how energy is produced, managed, and delivered.

As liquefied natural gas (LNG) gains importance globally, GCC countries face the challenge and opportunity to continue to shape the future of the global energy sector.

“The region aims to be more than just an energy provider, rather it can and should lead the sector by driving innovation and sustainable energy solutions,” Matt Spalding, Vice-President, Honeywell Energy and Sustainability Solutions for Asia Pacific, Middle East, North Africa and India, tells OGN energy magazine.

While traditional LNG conversations in the region have focused heavily on supply capacity, today’s strategic narrative demands greater attention to operational innovation, digitisation and emissions management.

In other words, how can GCC countries ensure that their LNG projects remain economically viable and competitive in a rapidly evolving energy market?
