EMPOWER YOUR GLOBAL GAS STRATEGY AND PAVE THE WAY TO SUCCESS USING G2M2.
Natural Gas is now a global commodity.
Once the realm of Isolated markets, natural gas is now an essential part of a global community of producers, traders and consumers.
Market volatility was mostly driven by weather, controlled by seasonality. But as we have seen, many new factors are having a larger impact, such as decarbonization, geopolitics and energy security.
With the entire energy industry in flux, it is vital to have a way to navigate this uncertainty. To really understand role of gas in the energy transition, to maintain energy security, you need the ability to simulate the market using a variety of assumptions.
You need G2M2® Market Simulator for Global Gas and LNG™.
Licensees can create scenarios employing their own assumptions for these projects. RBAC works continuously to enhance G2M2 functionality and performance, anticipating the needs of the industry and rapidly responding to user requests.
The G2M2 base case is calibrated using the most recently available data from both publicly available and industry leading data providers. Currently the base case runs from 2011 to 2050. From this foundation each licensee can create its own reference case and scenarios based on its own assumptions.
Licensees can integrate G2M2 with their own market intelligence and other modeling systems such as RBAC’s GPCM® Market Simulator for North American Gas and LNG™ and power market models such as Aurora, EnCompass, and PROMOD for a completely integrated market simulation ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is a complete system of interrelated models of global gas and LNG production, transportation, storage and consumption. G2M2 is designed to be used by leading energy upstream and midstream companies, consultants, gas and electric utilities, and government agencies. G2M2 can meet or exceed your requirements in a “custom fit” solution that works well within manpower and budget constraints.
G2M2 delivers invaluable insights into the rapidly changing global gas markets. Studies using G2M2 have been presented at conferences around the world, including at the International Association for Energy Economics (IAEE) conference, the World Gas Conference (WGC) and the China Petroleum and Chemical International Conference (CPCIC). G2M2 licensees have used it to study feasibility of new LNG import projects and pipelines around the world. It has also been used to establish confidence bounds around gas prices at major hubs in North America, Europe, and Asia during upcoming winter peak use periods.
