As Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) awareness sweeps boardrooms around the world, procurement managers are forced to examine the business practices and environmental stewardship of their supply chain.
The ongoing conversation on the role of natural gas utilities in reducing emissions continues as utilities work towards achieving ambitious state decarbonization goals.
The U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) sector is poised for more growth amid surging natural gas prices, growing export capacity, and high demand due to Europe's supply crisis. Currently, about 25 LNG projects are under construction or under different stages of planning across the country.
The U.S. Energy Department’s $6 billion nuclear credit program, the pursuit for carbon-free generation to meet climate goals, and technological advancements are reigniting support for nuclear power. The global impact of Russia’s war on Ukraine has also escalated the importance of national security considerations in energy policies including a discussion about the role of nuclear power.
Several states that have ambitious clean energy and emissions reduction mandates are investigating the role of natural gas in the shift to a low-carbon power system. Actions at the federal level, spurred by the Biden administration’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, are also catalyzing efforts to decarbonize the gas system.
