Oil & gas on energy security duty

Offshore Energy - Fossil Energy: Home of Energy Transition ?? Connecting energy security with sustainable solutions ??
The general consensus among the majority of energy analysts is that oil, gas, and LNG will continue to be needed for the sake of ensuring the security of energy supplies, with demand forecast to keep going up in the years ahead. While more oil and gas exploration and production is seen as necessary by many, most agree the new barrels should be low-carbon with the ultimate goal of reaching zero-carbon status. Therefore, the hydrocarbon sector is urged to up its decarbonization ante in 2025.
The global energy industry has made progress on many fronts, including its decarbonization journey, in 2024, underpinned by record-high renewable energy installations, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) across energy systems, and decarbonization technologies. The International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) outlined that the global renewable energy capacity surpassed 300 GW, while more than 50 large-scale hydrogen projects got sanctioned as investments topped $200 billion. All these steps have been taken to accelerate the shift toward a more sustainable future.
One of the technologies being used to curb greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions not only from the energy sector but also the hard-to-abate ones, is carbon capture and storage (CCS), which widened its global footprint, capturing 15% more carbon dioxide than last year with over 45 million tons annually. Next year is expected to bring further changes across the energy/LNG landscape.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), the world is poised to enter a new energy market context in the coming years, marked by geopolitical hazards but also a relatively abundant supply of multiple fuels and technologies. This includes an ample supply of oil and LNG alongside excess manufacturing capacity for some clean energy technologies, such as solar PV and batteries, putting downward pressure on energy prices, depending on how geopolitical tensions evolve.
The IEA's outlook indicates that clean energy will keep growing at pace if greater investment is poured into new energy systems, especially in electricity grids and energy storage. The International Energy Agency claims that the world is still a long way from a trajectory aligned with its net zero goals, especially in some regions, such as developing economies, where high financing costs and project risks limit the spread of cost-competitive clean energy technologies. At the same time, the lack of access to energy remains the most fundamental inequity in today’s energy system with 750 million people, predominantly in sub-Saharan Africa, without access to electricity and over 2 billion without clean cooking fuels.
Given the level of importance assigned to LNG in numerous energy sector decarbonization pathway analyses, the Natural Allies Leadership Council, including former Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA), former Congressman Tim Ryan (D-OH), former Congressman Kendrick Meek (D-FL), and former Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, found the Biden Administration’s report concerning U.S. liquefied natural gas export terminals "deeply disappointing," perceiving it as an assault on the exportation of U.S. LNG. They argue that multiple reports have shown the benefits of increased natural gas exports in reducing global emissions and strengthening America’s national security.
"There is a strong consensus that increased U.S. LNG exports will not adversely impact domestic prices. In fact, we have a decade of federal data proving that rising U.S. LNG exports have not caused price spikes for Americans or impacted industrial competitiveness, even as the United States has become the world’s largest exporter. The Biden Administration’s false alarms of rising prices don’t hold up based on recent history. Experts used similar scare tactics over a decade ago, projecting prices would rise by 50%, but in fact domestic prices have remained flat," according to the Natural Allies Leadership Council.
It is said that putting limits on U.S. LNG exports risks up to 900,00 American jobs, empowers Russia and Iran with fewer environmental safeguards, and abdicates U.S. leadership on mitigating global climate change, as developing countries will largely default to coal without U.S. LNG. Based on a recent ICF study, the world would have seen 112 million more tons of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) without U.S. LNG in 2022, as LNG would have been replaced with coal and oil rather than wind or solar.
"Democrats must stop playing to the extremes and come together on a practical energy policy that balances our climate priorities, American jobs, affordability, and global security, all of which are served by natural gas partnered with renewables,” underlined the Natural Allies Leadership Council.
