[KOGAS Press release/ November 20, 2024] The Korea Gas Corporation (KOGAS) announced on the 19th that it held the ""2024 Partner Meeting on LNG Component Localization and Technology Development" at its headquarters in Daegu on November 4. The event aimed to promote the development of LNG parts technology by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and support the successful commercialization of their innovations.
Over 30 participants attended the meeting, including LNG experts from KOGAS’s production bases and officials from partner companies. During the event, attendees discussed the progress of ongoing projects to localize key LNG components, such as gas bearing pistons, and shared development achievements and future challenges.
