Natural gas is the cleanest burning of all fossil fuels with CO2 emissions half that of coal. As it can easily replace coal and other high emissions fossil fuels, LNG has immediate value in helping committed businesses and governments meet important near-term carbon emissions targets. All major forecasts point to natural gas remaining in the energy mix for decades to come, largely due to technical and resource constraints that limit just how rapidly renewable energy projects can be ramped up. With the evolution of carbon capture technology LNG will likely be a long-term contributor to net zero goals.
