Projects under construction are suffering setbacks. Meanwhile, the market outlook is turning negative, and the window of opportunity for new North American LNG is beginning to close, analysts say.
Gas production in West Texas has surged in recent years. The industry is rushing to construct more pipelines in the Permian. But analysts warn about the risk of overbuilding.
A flurry of deals at Gastech indicated interest in the continued expansion of LNG. But even industry leaders warned that “equity investors are going to get squeezed” from oversupply.
Governments plan on producing more than double the fossil fuels than is consistent with a climate-safe world, a new report said.
U.S. energy secretary Chris Wright played down fears that a focus on gas exports would drive up prices for domestic U.S. gas users.
U.S. electricity prices were already rising because of new demand and stress from climate disasters. But Trump’s attacks on renewables could create more “scarcity,” experts say.
Methane satellites have captured snapshots of super emitter events. But a newly published “Methane Risk Map” depicts health risks from hazardous air pollutants associated with methane emissions.
Louisiana fishermen fear their catch is contaminated with river sludge after a dredging accident. It is the latest blow to a commercial fishing industry reeling from the impacts of LNG.
The EU has pledged to buy U.S. LNG as part of a trade deal with Trump. The Trump administration and the U.S. LNG industry has seized on the trade talks to target the EU Methane Regulation with the goal of locking Europe into buying more American gas.
Higher methane emissions from gas infrastructure have negated much of U.S. climate progress in the past two decades. “Gas is a lot worse than I think is widely understood,” the author of a new study says.
Industry leaders speaking at Gastech remain bullish about prospects for the gas market despite its conflict with climate goals.
Union Investment, one of the largest asset management companies, has divested from ExxonMobil citing insufficient climate targets.
Mexico is highly dependent on the U.S. for gas. Fast deployment of solar and wind could cut costs and minimise energy security risk, according to a new report.
Inefficiencies in compressed air systems result in significant, avoidable emissions, writes Jeffry Kahn, President of CAM Technologies.
Emissions-sensing satellites are among the pioneering technologies that have started to remodel the oil and gas sector, writes Kenzie Huffman, Director of Partnerships at Carbon Mapper, the California-based NGO.
The Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), are helping us to understand how renewables can be integrated and managed with greater precision, writes Izzy Rivera, a manager at Emerson.
Already scarred by climate change, southwest Louisiana is on the frontlines of the rush to build new LNG.
Commercial fishing in southwest Louisiana is already facing hard times. But the rush to build Louisiana LNG export terminals may put an end to a once-vibrant industry.
The proposed Woodfibre LNG project has seen costs soar, and is not competitive with larger LNG projects on the U.S. Gulf Coast, despite generous public subsidies. Critics say it will not offer the economic benefit for which British Columbia is hoping.
The scenic Howe Sound, in British Columbia, has seen a stunning improvement in marine life. But this “success story” is under threat from the proposed Woodfibre LNG project, critics say.
A major Texas LNG project is promising to be the “greenest” LNG project in the world. But critics say it rests on ‘speculative’ and unproven carbon capture and sequestration technologies.
While much of the Texas coast is inundated with oil and gas infrastructure, the southern coast remains largely untouched by heavy industry. That could change with big plans for Texas LNG export terminals.
