gasworld is a B2B publishing and events business that focuses on the industrial gases sector. Launched in 2004 and based in Cornwall, England, the magazine came into the public eye thanks to its reporting on the European CO2 shortage of summer 2018.

Hisory
gasworld was launched in 2004 by founder John Raquet, as a web portal for global industrial gas news and an online industrial gas directory. Within a year, in April 2005, gasworld magazine was launched; other business units would also be added in the subsequent years that followed.

gasworld started its events business in 2007 and held its first international industrial gas conference in Dubai, UAE, at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, followed by its second international conference in Johannesburg, South Africa in June 2008. The company has since gone on to hold more than 25 international conferences and summits around the world, from Santiago, Chile to Singapore covering regional business models, dynamics and topics such as the global helium business and CO2 supply chain.

In May 2013 the company won the silver award for Best International Business at the Cornwall Business Awards and that same year in September celebrated 100 issues of its global magazine.

gasworld took over US-based industrial gas journal, CryoGas International in 2013, and opened its US office in Hopkinton, MA. The CryoGas magazine was re-branded as gasworld (US edition) in 2016, thus resembling the gasworld brand more closely.

CO2 Crisis
The company came into the public eye in the summer of 2018 due to its reporting on the European-wide CO2 shortage. The shortage and gasworld’s reporting on it were reported on by mainstream media outlets, such as: BBC, The Guardian and Sky News.

H2 View
In July 2019, gasworld introduced a brand-new content and information platform,“H2 View”. Focusing specifically on the hydrogen economy, or the hydrogen energy value chain, H2 View reports on the latest developments in the hydrogen and fuel cell sector and the growing adoption of hydrogen energy and related technologies across industry and society. The first print edition of H2 View magazine was launched in September 2019.

H2 View has also been listed as an official partner of the Hydrogen Council, a global CEO-led initiative of 60 leading energy, transport and industry companies with a united and long-term vision to develop the hydrogen economy.

Magazines
gasworld magazine’s Global edition was launched in 2005 and the company took over US-based CryoGas International magazine in 2013, re-branding it as gasworld (US Edition) in 2016. These two magazines report on the latest news in the industrial gas sector, such as: mergers, technological developments and events.

An industrial gas Yearbook was added to the company's collection of publications in 2018.

In July 2019 H2 View, a magazine separate from the gasworld branding, was introduced, focusing on hydrogen specifically.

Editorial Advisory Board
gasworld’s content is backed by an editorial advisory board, which, as of July 2019, consists of: William J. Kroll, Phil Kornbluth (Kornbluth Helium Consulting LLC), Ravin Mirchandani (Mack Valves), David Hurren (Air Liquide UK), and Stephen B. Harrison (sbh4 GmbH).

Events
gasworld hosted its first conference in 2007 and held its first international industrial gas conference in Dubai, UAE, at the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, under the theme of “Middle East: The New Industrial Frontier” and since then the company has hosted over 25 events all around the world.

Business Intelligence
The business intelligence sector of gasworld was created in 2011 and as of November 2019, it offers more than 100 detailed country reports and online dashboards, as well as ongoing subscriber bulletins and services.

In mainstream media
gasworld entered the mainstream media in the summer of 2018 while reporting on the European CO2 shortage. The story was then picked up and reported on by numerous mainstream media outlets, due to the impact on the public, thanks to high summertime demand for beer and soft drinks.

The company’s CEO, John Raquet, was interviewed on this topic by numerous media outlets, such as: BBC, CNN and Sky News.
