Description
Explore the pivotal role of natural gas in our evolving energy landscape with this insightful book by Michael Bradshaw and Tim Boersma. Titled 'Natural Gas: A Bridge to a Low-Carbon Future?', it provides a comprehensive evaluation of natural gas's significance, highlighting its applications in power generation, industrial processes, and even in transportation sectors. As the world leans towards greener energy solutions, this book delves into how natural gas can still serve as a crucial component within various energy transition pathways. With the rise of unconventional natural gas production and the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market, understanding the future of natural gas becomes ever more important. Yet, the authors caution that a third revolution is essential to address rising air quality concerns and greenhouse gas emissions. This 200-page insightful read, published in 2020 by John Wiley & Sons (UK), encapsulates the ongoing dialogue among politicians, citizens, and investors about the environmental footprint of fuel sources. Whether you are a student, professional, or an eco-conscious reader, this book offers critical insights into balancing demand for natural gas with necessary environmental considerations.

Description:
Is natural gas the Âbridge™ to our low-carbon future?Ă‚Â In power generation, industrial processes, parts of the transportation sector, and for domestic use, natural gas still has the potential to play a greater role in various energy transition pathways around the worldBut such a future is by no means certain.
In this book, Michael Bradshaw and Tim Boersma offer a sober and balanced assessment of the place of natural gas in the global energy mix today, and the uncertainties that cloud our understanding of what that role may look like in the futureThey argue that natural gas has become prominent in recent decades, spurred by two revolutions: the first has been the rise of unconventional natural gas production, and the second the coming of age of the market for liquefied natural gas (LNG). However, a third revolution is required to secure natural gas™ long-term role in various energy transition pathways, as countries are increasingly pushing to address air quality concerns and curtail greenhouse gas emissions. This revolution has to take place as politicians, citizens, investors and shareholders are becoming increasingly vocal about the need to improve the environmental footprint of the fuel, while simultaneously, and perhaps paradoxically, demand for it continues to grow, in a world where geopolitical challenges seem to be mounting.
