As the world heads towards the historic COP26 Climate Summit in Glasgow this November, it feels like there has never been more discussion around emissions reduction. Australia, like much of the world, has set a course to achieve significant emissions reductions in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement, and this poses big questions for the oil and gas industry as it considers the way it operates in a net-zero emissions future.
Natural gas in particular plays a vital role in reducing Australia's and Asia's emissions. Australian liquefied natural gas (LNG) is helping to reduce emissions in importing countries by about 170 million tonnes each year.
Achieving net zero emissions in line with the objectives of the 2016 Paris Agreement by 2050 is an important goal of national and international policy, and Australia's world-class natural gas industry has huge potential to help achieve this as demand continues to ramp up; Southeast Asian demand alone is set to double by 2040, even in scenarios where global net zero emissions by 2050 are considered.
The third plenary session of the APPEA Conference, Is the Oil and Gas Industry Part of a Net Zero Emissions Future?, will addresses the industry's role in a net zero emissions with a panel of global experts that will consider the issue from a range of perspectives. It will discuss the future role of the oil and gas industry in the context of international net zero ambitions, how the industry can thrive in a cleaner energy future, and the technologies being used to realise its potential for change.
Speakers at the debate includes facilitator;Ticky Fullerton; Tony Nunan, Shell Australia Executive VP & Company Chair;Dr Scott Tinker, Bureau of Economic Geology (BEG) Texas Director; and Kassia Yanosek, McKinsey & Company Partner.
Attendees can expect frank, measured discussion on a leading prerogative for the continued success of the oil and gas industry.
