Angesichts des russischen Krieges gegen die Ukraine und der gefährdeten Energieversorgung Europas gewinnt der östliche Mittelmeerraum wieder an politischer Aufmerksamkeit. Im Fokus stehen dabei einerseits bisher unerschlossene Erdgasvorkommen und andererseits Perspektiven für eine zukünftige...

Helped by anomalously warm winter temperatures, the EU appears increasingly likely to get through the current winter relatively unscathed. But next winter could be significantly more challenging if Russian gas supplies were to decrease further or stop altogether, especially if accompanied by...

Angesichts des russischen Krieges gegen die Ukraine und der gefährdeten Energieversorgung Europas gewinnt der östliche Mittelmeerraum wieder an politischer Aufmerksamkeit. Im Fokus stehen dabei einerseits bisher unerschlossene Erdgasvorkommen und andererseits Perspektiven für eine zukünftige...

The Indian gas sector is expected to be one of the world’s fastest-growing markets over the next two decades. Yet there is a wide divergence of views around India’s future gas demand and the potential for gas to reach this share. The affordability of gas remains central to this ambition. The...

The Global Methane Pledge to reduce emissions by at least 30 per cent by 2030, was signed by more than 100 countries at the COP26 Conference in November 2021. Reducing methane emissions from fossil fuel sources by up to 75 per cent by 2030 has been identified as an essential contribution to...

Low-carbon hydrogen has emerged as an important component of EU decarbonisation plans. It also adds a new element to the EU’s external energy policy, given that a sub­stantial share of Europe’s future hydrogen requirements will need to be met with imports. In this context, the Eastern...

Folgende Politikempfehlungen für die Bundesregierung stellen die Gasversorgung für den Winter 2022 und darüber hinaus sicher, ohne dabei die Klimaschutzziele aus den Augen zu verlieren. Damit Flüssiggas eine Übergangslösung wird und die Gasversorgung möglichst klimaschonend verläuft,...

For many years Russian domination of SE Europe’s gas imports meant it was regarded as “Russia’s market”. In the last 3 years, however, much new infrastructure has been commissioned, which has enabled the region to diversify its import mix and significantly change its gas flow patterns....

Using the nationally representative Indian Time Use Survey, we study whether the use of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) as cooking fuel affects the time spent in cooking and employment activities for Indian rural women. We instrument use of LPG by a leave-one-out spatial instrument constructed by...

H2 is highlighted as a sustainable energy resource, and mainly produced by steam reforming of fossil fuels, which emit the greenhouse gases. Marine biomass is a promising alternative source because of its high productivity and carbon neutrality compared to terrestrial biomass. In this work, we...

We assess how rising exports of US liquefied natural gas (LNG) affect the convergence of natural gas prices worldwide. Using standard principal component analysis and cointegrating techniques, we show that the degree of co-movement between global benchmark prices for natural gas has strengthened...

Due to its much lower air pollution and potential greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions benefits, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is frequently discussed as a fuel pathway towards greener maritime transport. While LNG's air quality improvements are undeniable, there is debate within the sector as to what...

Hydrogen is gaining prominence as a critical tool for countries to meet decarbonisation targets. The main production pathways are based on natural gas or renewable electricity. LNG represents an increasingly important component of the global natural gas market. This paper examines synergies and...

Today, alternative fuels are seen as a critical area of sustainable technological growth in maritime transport. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO), the United Nations body for maritime issues and other international bodies are in the process of amending and updating the regulations...

Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) is an alternative method to transport natural gas (NG), more versatile than pipeline gas, and helps increasing the availability, affordability and use of NG compared to carbon-intensive coal and oil. In the LNG market, various expansions projects have been planned and...

This paper assesses the labour market impact of the Papua New Guinea (PNG) LNG project – the largest resource project ever completed in PNG. It discusses employment during the construction phase from 2010 to 2014 and the subsequent production phase. While national employment figures in the...

The Chinese liquid natural gas (LNG) import price has been unstable because the stability of LNG import prices is related to changes in the exchange rates. This paper analyzes the pass-through rate of the Chinese Yuan (CNY) and Japanese Yen (JPY) on the Chinese LNG import price. The Time-Varying...

Strong liquefied natural gas (LNG) demand growth, especially in Asia, could increasingly motivate gas infrastructure development in North America. Nevertheless, opposition to new gas infrastructure is formidable in some of the U.S. states and Canadian provinces that are well positioned to supply...

The technology to liquefy natural gas for transport to countries worldwide and the increasing use of natural gas as a cleaner fossil fuel for industry and household meant that the supply of liquified natural gas (LNG) worldwide is a profitable trend. Shipping companies can strategically choose...

The role of gases in the energy transition is a different, and much more immediate, issue in the EU, compared with other global regions. Net zero targets for 2050 mean that in order to retain the gas market and the extensive network infrastructure which has been developed, zero carbon gases will...

Small-scale production of liquefied natural gas (SS LNG) is a promising, but little-known direction of the gas industry development, which is aimed at meeting the needs for environmentally friendly decentralized energy supply of nearby regions. In this study, an economic efficiency of four...

This study provides an overview of the use of natural gas and liquefied natural gas in Asia, both historic, current, and with an outlook for the future. Traditionally, Asia has been a strong liquefied natural gas producing region as well as the premier liquefied natural gas market. This...

The Chinese liquid natural gas (LNG) import price has been unstable because the stability of LNG import prices is related to changes in the exchange rates. This paper analyzes the pass-through rate of the Chinese Yuan (CNY) and Japanese Yen (JPY) on the Chinese LNG import price. The Time-Varying...
