LNGCON 2025: Rethinking LNG Capacity Trading

Another LNGCON is in the books, and this year’s event was packed with insights, strategy, and forward-thinking discussions on the future of LNG.

From shifting supply dynamics to the growing need for flexible trading solutions, one thing was clear: the LNG market is evolving fast—and the industry needs to keep up.

For PRISMA, LNGCON 2025 was about more than just conversation—it was about action. With our Managing Director Götz Lincke and LNG Business Development expert Christian Waltermann on-site, we explored how digital solutions can help shape the future of LNG capacity trading.

Industry Insights & Key Conversations

Throughout the event, Götz and Christian connected with a range of industry leaders, sharing insights and exploring how the future of LNG trading can be made more collaborative and adaptive to changing market conditions. We look forward to continuing these discussions and collaborating further as we work together to drive innovation in the LNG sector.

As the market faces volatility, fluctuating demand, and evolving supply chains, it is clear that the need for more flexible, transparent, and scalable solutions is greater than ever. The question at the forefront of our discussions: How can we make LNG capacity trading more efficient, collaborative, and adaptable?

 

PRISMA Takes the Stage

The highlight of the event for PRISMA? Our panel discussion on the future of LNG trading. As session sponsors, we didn’t just participate—we led the conversation. Christian Waltermann took the moderator’s seat, guiding the discussion on how commercial strategies must evolve to meet today’s LNG market challenges. Götz Lincke joined as a panelist, emphasizing one key takeaway: Innovative LNG capacity products are essential for navigating market volatility. 

 

With trading conditions becoming more complex, flexible capacity solutions will play a crucial role in ensuring efficiency, security of supply, and better risk management.

PRISMA’s Vision: A New Way to Trade LNG Capacity

At PRISMA, we believe digital innovation can help bridge the gap between LNG operators, shippers, and partners. To illustrate this, we presented an exclusive preview of our latest concept—a collaborative LNG capacity trading feature.

During the panel, we showcased a video demonstrating how PRISMA’s platform could support a new, more dynamic approach to LNG capacity trading. Here’s what it covered:

• A new way to create LNG capacity offers—where operators can involve multiple partners in a single offer.
• Seamless integration of additional services like transport capacity, storage, or regasification—reducing transaction risks and increasing efficiency.
• A transparent, flexible booking process that allows shippers to review, assess, and secure bundled services more easily.
  

What’s Next for LNG Trading?

LNGCON 2025 made one thing clear: the industry is ready for change. As markets become more dynamic, the need for smarter, more adaptive LNG capacity trading solutions is stronger than ever. At PRISMA, we’re exploring how to make this vision a reality—developing tools that foster collaboration, enhance market efficiency, and strengthen energy security.

A huge thank you to all panelists, participants, and BGS Oil & Gas Events for an incredible event!
