Natural gas plays critical role in energy transition – The Peninsula

Natural gas plays a critical role as the world seeks to move towards low carbon economy. One of the most important source of modern energy will be natural gas which is of great importance to world security and highly relevant to Qatar, discussed experts during an online seminar recently.

Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU) College of Law organised an online event entitled ‘Natural Gas and Global Energy Transitions’ which examined the key subjects from the new book, ‘The Palgrave Handbook of Natural Gas and Global Energy Transitions’. It covered the important roles of natural gas in the global energy transition, and how gas rich countries can leverage their comparative advantages as safe, reliable, and sustainable suppliers of this transition fuel.

Addressing the event, Dr. Susan L Karamanian, Dean, College of Law, HBKU gave the opening remarks. “It is fitting that today’s launch event for the year addresses the topic ‘Natural gas and global energy transitions’ that is of great importance to world security and one that is by definition dynamic and highly relevant to Qatar. Natural gas plays a critical role particularly as the world seeks to go to a low carbon economy," she said.
