IGU Secretariat

Naturgy and the Spanish Gas Association (Sedigas) took over the role of International Gas Union (IGU) Secretariat in November 2016 for a period of six years. Since then, Luis Bertrán, who has occupied various positions of responsibility in the company, has been the IGU’s new Secretary-General, replacing the Norwegian Pal Rasmussen. This appointment marked a historic milestone for Spain and the group because, through its role in the IGU, Naturgy will lead the debate on the energy transition with the big challenge of creating a low-carbon economy.

Barcelona is one of the gas industry’s nerve centres on a European and world level, which is why the headquarters of this association are based in this city, at our head office, where the resources required for its activity are available. The IGU also brings together an international group of experts who will carry out initiatives to position it as the global advocate of the gas industry.
