"Tackling climate change whilst at the same time, continuing to provide energy for the world is humankind's biggest challenge," she said in a statement on December 17. "With a variety of innovative technologies, the gas sector is well-equipped to contribute to the future and the vision of a climate neutral Europe."
GasNaturally's eight members are Eurogas, European Gas Research Group, Gas Infrastructure Europe, International Association of Oil and Gas Producers, the International Gas Union, Liquid Gas Europe, Marcogaz and NGVA Europe. Summers is taking the association's helm ahead of important decisions on climate policy due to be made in Brussels in 2021.
