That is why the 2023 Global Gas Report was dedicated to examining this uncertainty in depth and to explore pathways for gas in the energy transition. Upon close examination of various degree scenarios assumptions, it is very clear that a policy re-think is needed, and the level of investment in new gas projects today is insufficient to reach an affordable, secure, and sustainable energy system in 2030 and beyond. It is also clear that natural gas will continue playing a key role in the...
