“Houston’s role in leading the energy transition to a low carbon future makes this [Houston] an ideal place to host this important global event. We look forward to expanding on the success we had in 2019 when Gastech returns next year.”
‘World’s energy capital’
Simon Ford, VP of dmg events, said: “The next host city for Gastech 2024 will be Houston, Texas. There is no better location to take Gastech next than the world’s energy capital.”
