Global demand for LNG, which is positioned to help the world to transition to cleaner solutions, is forecast to surge. In parallel, low-emission fuels will have increasing significance in decarbonising the hard-to-abate parts of the energy system, and, in many cases, leveraging the existing fossil fuel-based infrastructure. This course will provide a fundamental understanding of how the global LNG markets are structured and priced, and how low carbon fuels will increasingly play a selective but important role to facilitate the transition of energy systems away from fossil fuels.
