The future of the gas industry: the low-carbon energy transition
The gas industry is going through a period of transformation driven by the global transition to low-carbon energy. Although natural gas is considered a cleaner fossil fuel than coal, its role in the future energy mix is increasingly questioned. Countries are striving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and this is having a significant impact on investment in gas infrastructure and new field development. One of the main areas of development is the search for and implementation of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies that reduce emissions from natural gas combustion. Hydrogen technologies are also being actively developed, which can become an alternative to natural gas in some sectors of the economy. The future of the natural gas industry largely depends on the pace of development of green technologies and the industry's ability to adapt to new conditions and requirements. Investments in innovation, energy efficiency and carbon footprint reduction will be key success factors.
