State-run Petrobangla sent letters to all the concerned companies in India and Bangladesh over the cancelled negotiations.

At CERAWeek, gas executives boasted that demand would grow for years, or even decades to come. But they also see a problem of rising costs for their projects.

Some oil and gas executives took a victory lap following a shift in the U.S. and Europe away from climate action. But volatile decision making in Washington, and market gyrations, cast a shadow over conference proceedings.

The controversial U.S. LNG exporter Venture Global reported lower revenues, and higher-than-expected costs for one of its LNG export terminals. The company has presided over the worst-performing energy IPO in three decades.

An unpublished EC document explores direct public support for LNG projects overseas. But critics warn that doubling down on costly LNG imports might be a drag on the European economy and increase security vulnerabilities.

Taiwan has some hard decisions to make. On the one hand, it has set ambitious decarbonisation goals, but it also continues to sanction more Taiwan LNG import terminals to help fuel its growing economy.

Recent research indicates that LNG has a worse climate impact than coal, due to high methane emissions across the supply chain, so more U.S LNG in Asia represents a climate risk.

Gulf Coast communities are dealing with increasing storms from climate change and higher levels of pollution from U.S. LNG terminals. Those facilities are also heavily subsidised by local and state governments.
