    Global LNG: Sustaining growth in a world of uncertainty
    Gas & LNG

    The importance of LNG in the global energy supply mix continues to grow as liquefaction capacity is set to expand rapidly the rest of this decade. Geopolitical conflict has shined a spotlight on security of supply and put LNG front and center as part of the solution in Europe, but new conflicts now threaten shipping lanes in the Middle East. Even as the United States, along with Qatar, is set to drive medium-term growth in global supply, the Biden Administration’s review of liquefaction permitting has created delay and uncertainty of new project development. In addition, methane emissions and carbon neutrality will need to be addressed to reaffirm LNG’s role in the energy transition in the long term. How can LNG deliver on its promise in the face of these geopolitical, regulatory and environmental challenges?
