A key growth driver behind liquefied natural gas (LNG) demand has been environmental policy and regulatory pressure driven by decarbonization and air quality improvement goals. The Paris Agreement signed in 2016 aims to restrict greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and slow the global temperature rise to 2 °C above pre-industrial levels. The Philippines is one of […]
Natural gas crisis building in New England

Kinder Morgan now joins a plethora of companies making their […]
Small-scale LNG: A catalyst for the energy transition
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is increasingly seen as one of several catalysts to the energy transition. As countries seek to reach their decarbonization goals, they will have to go beyond switching from coal- to natural gas-fired power generation, and explore carbon-efficient options across all energy demand segments. Many countries around the world are now seeing […]
