GasLog CEO on Climate Protests, Goals, LNG, Shipping Costs

The video discusses the urgency of meeting climate goals and the role of LNG as a transitional energy source. LNG is highlighted as a cleaner alternative to coal, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It is considered a bridge fuel that complements renewables, offering flexibility in power generation. The video also explores LNG's impact on pollution reduction, citing examples like Beijing's improved air quality. Additionally, it addresses the global LNG market dynamics, including its competitiveness with pipeline gas and geopolitical implications, such as the Russian pipeline to Germany.

What is one of the main advantages of LNG over coal in power generation?

• LNG emits 50 to 60% less greenhouse gases than coal.

• LNG is cheaper to produce than coal.

• LNG requires less infrastructure than coal.

• LNG is more abundant than coal.

How does LNG complement renewable energy sources?

• LNG can be used to store renewable energy.

• LNG can be quickly turned on and off to support renewable energy.

• LNG reduces the need for renewable energy.

• LNG is a renewable energy source.

What change did the Chinese government mandate to reduce pollution in Beijing?

• Switching from coal to nuclear power.

• Switching from coal to gas for heat generation.

• Switching from coal to wind power.
