Natural gas and LNG: the challenges for a low-carbon future
As countries around the world prioritize cutting CO2 emissions, awareness is growing of the important role natural gas will play in realizing a low-cost transition to a low-carbon future.
Gas provides a stable source of electricity to supplement renewables and replace oil and coal as a cleaner source of heat and power.
The IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2019 forecasts that, based on today’s policy targets, natural gas will be used to meet a third of the increase in energy demand between now and 2040.
It will play an especially important role in helping decarbonize Asia’s fast-growing economies, and much of this gas will come from the US in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
