How will the gas industry evolve in the low-carbon world of the future? Will natural gas be a bridge or a destination? Could it become the foundation of a global hydrogen economy, in combination with CCS? How big will “green” hydrogen and biogas become? What will be the role of LNG and bio-LNG in transport? Gas Transitions is an independent monthly magazine providing news, insights and opinions on the evolving role of gas in an increasingly low-carbon energy system. |
In this Issue:From the Editor Germany’s second Energiewende: repeating the mistakes of the first The case for methane pyrolysis Three experts explain how natural gas may be converted to zero-carbon hydrogen without the need for carbon capture and storage. Germany’s National Hydrogen Strategy: “the Second Energiewende” The German government goes all-out for “green hydrogen”, even going as far as claiming that it represents a second Energiewende. But Germany’s “green hydrogen economy” will lean heavily on imports.

How to make money with CO2 Experts from McKinsey describe several routes to re-use captured carbon.
