DOHA: Qatar is strengthening its position as a global leader in balancing energy security and sustainability, combining world-class LNG capabilities with accelerating investment in low-carbon and renewable technologies. According to a latest report by Statista, the revenue in the energy management market is projected to amount to $7m in 2025.
An industry leader noted that Qatar’s approach embodies the Gulf region’s pragmatic, intelligence-led energy strategy, one that recognises energy transformation as a process of addition and innovation, not subtraction. “The GCC has positioned itself at the forefront of a pragmatic, intelligence-led approach to energy transformation,” Christopher Hudson, President of dmg events noted.
Rather than treating energy security and sustainability as competing priorities, the region demonstrates how they advance in tandem through strategic investment and collaborative partnerships.”
Hudson stressed that this balance is most visible in Qatar’s ability to bridge hydrocarbons and low-carbon energy systems.
“The region is expanding investment in lower-carbon fuels like LNG, which supports coal-to-gas switching globally, while also deploying large-scale renewable energy, hydrogen, and carbon capture projects,” he explained. “Qatar exemplifies this approach through its LNG leadership and decarbonisation investments.”
The report states that the revenue is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2025-2029) of 11.24 percent, resulting in a projected market volume of $10.8m by 2029. The official emphasised that the dual strategy reflects a broader Gulf philosophy of ‘energy addition’, which acknowledges that the world’s growing population and industries require more energy, delivered more intelligently and sustainably, to meet the rising global demand.
Hudson said the GCC’s pragmatic approach to energy transformation allows it to act as a bridge between the conventional and the clean energy worlds. Qatar’s emphasis on both expanding LNG capacity and advancing decarbonisation technologies ensures stability in global supply while reducing the carbon intensity of production.
“In the immediate term, we need to meet the world’s energy needs through a mix of all available energy sources such as oil, gas, hydrogen, nuclear, solar, wind, etc.,” Hudson noted. “At the same time, investment must continue in scalable technologies such as carbon capture, storage, and energy efficiency to ensure resilience and reduce emissions.” He underscored that achieving this global balance depends on “supportive policies, accessible finance, and strong cross-border, cross-sector collaboration to allow the flow of knowledge, technology, energy, and investment.”
The market expert identified three key trends driving this transformation, including the continued expansion of natural gas and LNG to meet global demand, the large-scale deployment of renewable and hydrogen projects, and the rapid integration of AI and digitalisation to enhance efficiency and lower emissions.
“Workforce development and localisation also remain critical as the region builds the next generation of energy expertise to sustain its long-term competitiveness,” Hudson added.
