Global markets will need around 135 mmtpa of new LNG supply by 2040, according to Wood Mackenzie’s LNG forecasts, to meet growing demand. However multiple post-FID LNG supplies have been delayed, which may result in less supply coming to market than expected, amplifying uncertainty and structural change in global market flexibility. The anticipated tightening of global LNG supply highlights the risks to energy security and access, caused by disruptions in Russian pipeline gas supply to Euro... Read More
According to McKinsey, over ten projects, representing 100 million tons per annum of LNG capacity, reached final investment decisions in 2023 and 2024. However, rising labour costs, the need to decarbonise the gas value chain, regulatory delays, resource shortages, complex environmental approvals, and infrastructure challenges - particularly in remote locations - are all contributing to cost overruns and project delays. In this highly competitive market projects yet to reach FID may need to reas... Read More
According to the World Economic Forum, AI is set to deliver up to US $1.3tn in economic value annually to the energy sector by 2030, revolutionising operations from predictive maintenance to real-time grid optimisation.

Access to financing continues to be a challenge for energy projects, especially in emerging markets. Although clean energy investment is increasing, the Global South encounters considerable obstacles in securing capital for low carbon infrastructure. Development finance institutions are involved, but attracting private investment is more difficult without clear risk mitigation strategies and stable energy policies. Conversely, the financing outlook for natural gas and LNG is improving, as f... Read More
According to the IEA, 70 countries are due to reach or surpass renewable capacity targets by 2030 signalling a boom for the sector in the second half of the decade. Despite this trajectory and the flexibility of and low carbon credentials of LNG, coal remains stubbornly entrenched in the energy mix particularly across the global south where it accounts for 80% of total global demand, driven by price volatility and energy security concerns. Nations must navigate the delicate balance between affor... Read More
Improving efficiency in the existing fleet is critical to reducing GHG emissions while continuing to innovate with low- carbon technologies and the use of alternative fuels. As the maritime industry contributes nearly 3% of the world’s carbon emissions, it is finding pathways to decarbonise to meet the IMO’s ambitious targets to reduce GHG emissions by 70% by 2050 compared to 2008 levels.While alternative fuel technologies are maturing, with clearer development timelines supported by growin...
