Boom! LNG under pressure
The Russian-Ukrainian war and the pushback from Western governments have disrupted and distorted energy markets. Following sanctions against Russia and the destruction of the Nordstream pipeline, Europe started to import LNG from the USA, which stepped up its production, but now there is a risk of overcapacity. With an explosion in Texas leading to safety concerns and the disclosure that methane emissions are higher than previously thought, is the current LNG boom sustainable?
