Description
Natural Gas: A sober and balanced assessment of its role in the global energy mix. The rise of natural gas has been driven by two significant revolutions: the growth of unconventional production and the emergence of the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market. However, to secure a long-term role for natural gas in various energy transition pathways, a third revolution is needed. This shift must address air quality concerns and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as politicians, citizens, investors, and shareholders increasingly demand more environmentally friendly options. Growing demand for natural gas continues to mount, despite mounting geopolitical challenges. As the world seeks to improve its environmental footprint, the future of natural gas remains uncertain. This book provides a balanced assessment of the current state of affairs, exploring the complexities surrounding natural gas's place in the global energy mix.
