Can emissions taxes decarbonise the LNG industry?

11 April 2024

The LNG industry is facing growing pressure to decarbonise. But this can't be achieved without major investment, pushing up the price of delivered LNG. Buyers have so far been reluctant to pay a premium for low-carbon volumes. Taxing LNG emissions could change this. Europe is leading the way, with the EU taxing the fuel emissions of LNG vessels from this year. While an important first step, much more is required for the industry to decarbonise at scale.

Europe emerges as global LNG price-setter

27 May 2021

Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) markets were set to tighten over the next five years, driven by a slowdown in global LNG supply growth. But Europe’s market dynamics are turbo-charging the price recovery, with TTF currently trading close to US$9 per million British thermal units (/mmbtu), a level not seen since mid-2018. Following the recent winter spot price spike in Asia, the European market has been sustaining global LNG prices, making the region a battleground for global LNG price formation, new research from global natural resources consultancy Wood Mackenzie found.

Asia Pacific could become a global leader in the energy transition

21 February 2024

Home to half of the world’s population and contributing a third to the global GDP, the Asia Pacific region is expected to maintain a 50% share of global primary energy demand and a 60% share of global carbon emissions until 2050. This trend is unlikely to change without strong policy action and investment. However, the region still has the potential to turn these challenges into opportunities and become a global leader in the energy transition.
