GPAE 2025 Conference in The Hague, The Netherlands
We are pleased to announce the GPAE Annual Conference will be held Wednesday 4th to Friday 6th June 2025 at The Hague Marriott Hotel, The Hague, The Netherlands.
One of the strengths of GPAE is the large number of people who have been active members of our organisation and the industry for many years – several of whom will be presenting.
Our conference kicks off on Wednesday 4th June with an afternoon Workshop. The Technical Conference starts on Thursday 5th June.
We also have a free dedicated Training Day for our Young Professionals on Wednesday 4th June.
Registration is now open - you can register via the links below. We have an Early-Bird discount available if you register before 31st March 2025.

2025 Schedule of Events
** Save the Dates! **
- 17th April, 11.30am-12.30pm UK time: free Technical Webinar
- 4th-6th June 2025: GPAE Annual Conference, The Hague, The Netherlands
- 25th September, 11.30am-12.30pm UK time: free Technical Webinar
- 20th November 2025: GPAE Technical Meeting & AGM, London
Be part of our conferences promoting a new energy future and the transition of our industry towards that future: we are looking for stories about the development of technology and best practices affecting Natural Gas processing. As well as a look at Hydrogen, Biogas, Ammonia, Carbon Capture and Storage, and LNG amongst others, to inspire the gas processing community. Email your abstracts to: [email protected].
Awards: each year we present an award at our AGM for the best paper. The Best Paper Award is selected by our conference attendees and is based on the feedback scores received.
The Aungier Award is also granted for the best paper presented by one of our Young Professionals at our conferences. The winner is decided by our Technical Committee. Alongside the award, the winner will also receive £1,500.

Paper of the Month – January 2025
In this month's Newsletter, we are pleased to announce that the most popular paper of January 2025 was ...
This paper was presented at the GPA Europe 2024 Milan Conference, by Sangeeta Ankam and Syed Hasan, Kent
Net Zero ambition can be realised by sustainable energy transition from fossil fuels to renewables such as Syngas that is derived from scalable Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) gasification units (350 ~ 600 ktpa) to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) or other products.
This presentation defines opportunities for purification, decarbonisation and NOx abatement of Syngas facilities. The Syngas post MSW gasification is cooled via Heat recovery steam generators (HRSG) for further removal of particulates, inorganic species and quenching followed by Compression via steam turbine driver. The Syngas quality is enhanced in Water Shift reactor followed by Acid gases removal using Hydrolysis Reactor and Absorber column employing formulated amine that has higher acid gas loading capacity and mass transfer kinetics to achieve deep removal of both CO2 and H2S that are detrimental to Fischer-Tropsch (FT) Catalyst. The traces of contaminants are removed in Adsorbent beds prior to conversion of Syngas to Hydrocarbon liquids in FT unit and product upgrading is achieved in Hydrocracking and Fractionation unit to enable SAF production. The acid gas (CO2/H2S) is compressed to intermediate pressure for Sulphur removal via redox process and dehydration through adsorbent media. The conditioned CO2 is fiscally metered and piped for sequestration whereas sulphur cake is disposed of via trucks. The aforementioned Syngas to SAF process enables efficient decarbonisation with inherent safety, minimum footprints, reduced life cycle cost, lower GHG and NOx emissions.
