7. Natural gas is a fuel very well-suited to meet energy challenges
A Global Vision for Gas
Natural gas is a fuel very well-suited to meet energy challenges
Growing availability
Attractive for urban living
Gas in power generation is a proven, low carbon option
Highly cost competitive
Major generator of employment across the globe
The technologies are proven
Natural gas is a fuel very well-suited to meet these challenges
The growing availability of conventional and unconventional natural gas provides a natural resource stock to see the world well beyond Natural gas is an enabler of economic development.
The clean properties of natural gas make it attractive for urban living.
Gas in power generation is a low carbon option with excellent complementarity with intermittent renewable power. And its lower carbon content—relative to the other fossil fuels—makes it a useful tool to address climate change.
Natural gas is a highly cost competitive form of low carbon energy and hence an affordable source of electricity, while as a form of heat it continues to be priced below the alternative of oil. As such it requires less or no subsidies to foster its commercial use.
The technologies associated with natural gas are proven and therefore involve less risk than many alternatives.
The single biggest advantage of natural gas may be its adaptability
Gas-fired generation can transition in a variety of directions:
Capture carbon through retrofit technology, as a partnership role with intermittent sources of renewable power generation or to a greater inclusion of carbon-neutral biogas.
The choice of pathway or the balance between these options remains open and can be adjusted according to the technological progress of each alternative.
For this reason, natural gas is sometimes called a ‘zero regrets option’.

8. A Global Vision for Gas - followed
The ‘Global Vision for Gas’ lays out a clear pathway towards a sustainable energy future.
There is a strong need for a portfolio approach in energy:
Reductions in energy use
Enhanced energy efficiency
Expanded use of zero carbon technologies
Greater resort to clean-burning natural gas.
The ‘Global Vision for Gas’ lays out a clear pathway towards a sustainable energy future.
A future of improved air quality and public health, affordable energy, available resources, and sharply reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
There is a strong need for a portfolio approach in energy, calling upon:
Reductions in energy use
Enhanced energy efficiency
Expanded use of zero carbon technologies
Greater resort to clean-burning natural gas.
Immediate wider deployment of natural gas would be based on proven technologies available today
Policymakers need to recognize the critical role that natural gas has to play alongside other low carbon options, and facilitate the appropriate policy enablers as befits each region based on its particular circumstances.
This portfolio approach that includes a major role for natural gas will likely cost less than opting for an all renewable supply route in power generation
Inclusion of natural gas could help the affordability of the parallel adoption of new zero carbon (or near zero carbon) technologies
The significant number of jobs associated with natural gas—both directly and indirectly--is highlighted and its contribution to economic growth.
Policymakers need to recognize the critical role that natural gas plays alongside other low-carbon options, and facilitate the appropriate policy enablers

9. Global Emissions Reductions by Abatement Method
Three ways exist to bring down emissions from the base case.
Reduce overall primary energy demand either through lower final consumption or through more efficient production and conversion of energy
Replace higher carbon emitting fuels with lower, or near, zero carbon forms of energy
Install carbon capture technologies where fossil fuels are burned
The Vision Pathway analyses the impact of a range of carbon abatement methods using gas to reduce emissions
Coal-to-Gas Substitution.
Replacement of coal with gas-fired capacity in power and heat generation, assumed to take place when the coal-fired station reaches 25 years of operations
Oil-to-Gas Substitution.
Replacement of oil with gas-fired capacity in power and heat generation at the end of the oil-fired station’s useful life. Liquefied Natural Gas substituting for oil as a fuel in shipping and heavy goods vehicles. Natural Gas Vehicles replacing Internal Combustion Engine light duty vehicles. Gas substituting for oil in end-use sectors, particularly residential use but also industrial applications. Some residual oil use is assumed to remain, particularly as a feedstock.
Biogas
Widespread development and production of biogas
Carbon Capture and Use
Using carbon capture to further reduce emissions from natural gas combustion.
Reducing Demand.
Accelerating efficiency improvements in end-user segments, including building insulation, boiler efficiencies, industrial applications, replacing older inefficient gas-fired power generation with modern CCGT, improving internal combustion engine vehicle efficiency, reducing transmission and distribution losses, and behavioural change including reduction in passenger miles travelled.
Oil Substitution in Transport.
Replacement of combustion engine light duty vehicles with electric vehicles, both plug-in-hybrid and battery
Renewables and Nuclear.
Step change in the use of renewables in power generation, supplemented with increased nuclear capacity.

10. Natural gas is a clean-burning and low carbon fuel
Natural gas can contribute to better air quality and to mitigating climate change
Natural gas is a clean-burning and low carbon fuel
Carbon Dioxide Emitted During Electricity Generation by Fuel*
NOx and SOx Content by Fuel
In terms of carbon dioxide, natural gas typically has 40 percent less carbon content than coal, and 25 percent less carbon content than oil. But the gains from switching are often more substantial because of the high efficiency of natural gas notably for power generation purposes.
To generate a fixed amount of power a best-in-class combined-cycle gas turbines (CCGT) will emit 60 percent less CO2 than a coal-fired plant.
The emissions of NOx from natural gas are typically 63 percent less than from oil and at least 60 percent less than for coal. The emissions of SOx from natural gas are almost negligible, and so are particulates.
These local pollutants are particularly important with growing urbanisation and the need to control smog levels in cities. The improvement in health, and associated cost savings in health care, are significant.
Natural gas can be the tool toward cleaner air and less noise in cities through two distinct paths, either the direct use of natural gas in vehicles or reducing tailpipe emissions.
Ad *: Power generation efficiencies assumed: Natural gas 55%, crude oil 37%, coal 39% 10

11. You Can’t simply Turn on the Sun and the Wind
Natural gas can enable renewable energy
An energy alternative is needed to outpace fast growth of energy demand.
Natural gas can be such alternative.
Gas is complementary to intermittent renewables.
In EU, natural gas is vital to “help” renewables to meet the 2050 reduction ambitions.
The perfect match!
