The Technical Conference at the Americas LNG Summit & Exhibition 2026 is a showcase for the very best technological solutions, practical case studies and innovative projects. All submissions will be reviewed by our committee of senior LNG specialists, with successful abstracts selected for presentation during the Technical Conference on October 13-15, 2026 in Lake Charles, USA
The Call for Papers attracted hundreds of abstract submissions for the 21th edition of the event in 2025. Below is a selection of standout submissions from last year to help guide your thinking as you prepare your own abstract.
An LNG liquefaction process is replete with turbomachinery: centrifugal compressors and gas turboexpanders provide the true motive force behind industrial refrigeration. Unfortunately, on many large- and mid-scale baseload LNG projects, turbomachinery process controls are treated as an afterthought, with the controls hardware and software selected after the specific machines are awarded. Benefits can be realized by separating the equipment and controls packages. This presentation highlighted five keys to successfully specifying and procuring turbomachinery controls for an LNG liquefaction project.

The expansion of LNG operations has led to increased methane emissions, triggering the evolution of the regulatory and voluntary initiatives landscape. There are, however, often redundancies and inefficiencies created for the operators who may have to comply with multiple regulations. In this project, GTI Energy, with the support from the United States DOT PHMSA, performed an in-depth review of a variety of global regulations. In this presentation, they shared their findings from the gap analysis and their recommendations to the global community.

AI CHS Solution is the autonomous ship operation-assist system to provide economic navigation plans by utilizing cargo and shipping information. This can ensure optimized and economical operations even for unskilled operators. AI CHS Solution accurately provides the estimated amount of Boil-Off-Gas (BOG) from LNG and suggests the most efficient fuel operation guide using AI technology. In this presentation, we have showed the onboard verification results of AI CHS Solution on laden voyage of 174K LNG Carrier.

As global LNG demand accelerates, Louisiana’s rural communities are not only hosting major energy infrastructure—they’re increasingly shaping its trajectory. Yet, despite their central geographic role, rural voices remain underrepresented in strategic industry forums. This presentation aimed to flip the script by spotlighting Louisiana’s rural leaders (including parish officials, economic development professionals, workforce partners, and community advocate) as proactive agents in energy project development—driving workforce readiness, land-use planning, and community engagement aligned with long-term energy resilience.
