SECURING NATURAL GAS SUPPLY

For decades, fossil-based energy sources have been indispensable for the development of the world economy. Despite the on-going expansion in the use of renewable energy, natural gas will continue to be amongst the world's major energy sources in the coming decades. Natural gas in particular has a major role to play in the new energy mix. Natural gas is one of the most important raw materials for modern industry and society. It continues to play a dominant role as a fuel with 84% of British households currently relying on gas for heating. By replacing coal in electricity generation gas can halve CO2 emissions. What’s more, it is indispensable in the production of plastics and other chemical products upon which society depends.
