HBKU seminar features role of natural gas in global energy transitions – The Peninsula

Doha: Aiming to advance critical analysis of the intersection between energy demands, natural gas, and environmental sustainability, the College of Law at Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) organised an online seminar recently to examine key subjects from the new book “The Palgrave Handbook of Natural Gas and Global Energy Transitions.”

The event also marked the global launch of the book in the presence of the editors, Dr. Damilola S. Olawuyi, Associate Dean for Research and Unesco Chair holder on Environmental Law and Sustainable Development at HBKU’s College of Law, and Dr. Eduardo G. Pereira, Founding Partner of the International Energy Law Training and Research Company, and the International Energy Law Advisory Group. Several of the contributing authors also participated in the session.

The seminar examined the important role of natural gas in global energy transitions, and analysed how gas rich countries, including Qatar, can leverage their comparative advantages as safe, reliable, and sustainable suppliers. As an authoritative reference work, the Palgrave Handbook analyses case studies from every major world region to understand recent innovations and outline future strategies.

The event included a keynote address by Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber, N.J. Ayuk. Sharing their learned insights were Omran H. Al Kuwari,
