As long as the EU relies on US fracked gas and delays a real phase-out of fossil gas, communities across the globe will continue to suffer ❗️ We need strong implementation of the EU Methane Regulation and a full fossil gas phase-out by 2035. 🌱

European Union's US gas use set to soar, increasing price volatility

Europe will need to import up to 160 additional liquefied natural gas cargoes this winter due to lower storage and a decline in pipeline flows from Russia and Algeria, according to analysts and data, deepening its dependency on U.S. gas.

Shell is so heavily invested in the "LNG or bust" strategy we should not expect anything resembling truth out of them on the topic.

Oilfield Witness @oilfieldwitness.bsky.social · 5d

This is the CEO of Shell.

"Sawan described LNG as one of the most effective tools for lowering global emissions"

This is completely detached from science and reality.

The LNG industry likes to argue that expanding LNG use is a good thing because it will replace coal (this is a lie for two reasons).

1). LNG is dirtier than coal.
2). LNG is far more expensive than coal. If coal is beating the current price of US gas, it has no chance against LNG.

I recently wrote about how the US natural gas (methane) producers desperately need the world to get hooked on LNG imports. They need new markets for their gas. Why? From @ember-energy.org :

"global gas generation also fell (-6.3 TWh, -0.2%)"

The world is using less gas.
