GTI Energy Future Focused: Beyond the Pipeline: Charting the Future for Natural Gas

What does the future hold for natural gas in evolving energy systems?

Join Paula Gant, CEO of GTI Energy, and Jim Kerr, CEO of Southern Company Gas — principals in the Bipartisan Policy Center’s Natural Gas Initiative — to discuss the critical role that natural gas infrastructure plays in energy systems. Explore how the gas sector is delivering on this vision, and what is ahead for natural gas in enhancing system performance, leading the way in modernizing infrastructure, reducing emissions, and strengthening resilience amid evolving market, policy, and climate realities. From standardized emissions efforts, infrastructure resilience, and fuel-flexible approaches, Paula and Jim discuss what industry leadership looks like for the path forward.

The latest Natural Gas Initiative report offers timely context for this discussion, spotlighting bipartisan policy directions that reinforce the need for pragmatic, performance-based solutions. Together, Paula and Jim will reflect on what comes next and how gas system innovation can continue to deliver value and reliability for the people these gas systems serve.
