The World Liquefied Petroleum Gas Association (WLPGA) annually organizes the LPG Week conference, which is considered the largest and most representative event in the industry. Attending this event is important for any company that is seriously working in this area, because LPG Week always has the latest trends, the most useful contacts, potential cooperation, and warm contacts. Every year, the event is hosted by different major cities around the world. LPG Week 2024 will be held in Cape Town with the theme “Energy for All”.
Since 2018, one of the benefits of the conference has been an introduction to advanced technological solutions that move the industry forward. Traditionally, the LPG industry has relied on internal expertise to solve its problems. But it faces many challenges that require new approaches, new thinking, and people with fresh, clear minds and not necessarily from the industry. To find such people, the WLPGA announces an open innovation challenge.
World LPG Challenge ’24:
Key industries: Oil & Gas, Business Development.
Description: The theme of this years challenge is “Smart Solutions for a Sustainable Energy Future”. The WLPGA is looking for bold solutions that can transform the energy sector and make the global LPG industry more sustainable, efficient, safer and better. The organizers invite teams working in the following areas to participate:
Fuel and Sustainability. The industry has been successful in delivering clean and affordable fuel, but it does not want to rest on its laurels and is looking for even cleaner energy. Your solution can open up new avenues for renewable fuel production.
Efficient delivery. WLPGA member companies deliver fuel to any corner of the world – by rail, sea, road and dirt roads, pipelines, etc. Perhaps there are new smart technologies that could be the key to efficiently delivering energy “anywhere”.
Meeting growing demand. The clean, affordable and accessible energy offered by WLPGA members is needed by everyone from the more than 2 billion people in developing countries to consumers in developed countries. How can we provide LPG to everyone? We need microfinance solutions, smart meters, new applications, hybrid systems, efficiency solutions, smart packaging, etc.
Security. This category considers smart sensors, predictive analytics, simulations, best practices, or other ideas that raise the bar for safety.
Future technologies. Solutions or systems – from the Internet of Things to artificial intelligence – that can be integrated into the industry and bring the energy of the future closer.
Human capital. Supporting the safety, health and well-being of industry employees, attracting new people to the industry.
Communications. The WLPGA wants to communicate the many benefits of liquefied natural gas to customers, regulators, policy makers, partners and the wider community. It is looking for app-based technologies, communication solutions, etc. that will help to communicate effectively.
The deadline is July 31, 2024. All solutions will be reviewed by a jury consisting of WLPGA executives and members, as well as non-industry representatives with a deep understanding of its objectives.
Benefits for teams: This year’s final will take place in Cape Town, South Africa, as part of LPG Week 2024, which will include the 36th World LPG Forum and the European LPG Congress. Each of the finalists will receive a free ticket to LPG Week 2024 and a place at the main exhibition. The winners, who will be chosen by a live audience of hundreds of delegates, will share a prize pool of more than $10,000. The overall winner will also receive a free ticket to LPG Week 2025.
