a new culture and in 15 minutes, let's say together parts of our community life on the research is now on the these 3 let us steering up the world of energy. d l n g o energy exports, l n g o n g n g liquefied natural gas as hailed us the magic solution to lots of our problems in europe. that's getting much less gas from russia. it's suppose to keep the lights on in asia. it's supposed to do away with such a cold. and then the wes katasha in australia where most of the stuff is coming from. it's supposed to make a lot of people, a lot of money. all these places are frantically bolstering the infrastructure to ship ever larger amounts of liquid gas around the world. but is this really

a good idea? and 18. 23. richard scientist, michael sarah. the experimented with different guesses you discover that when he called and compressed them by tons of liquids. today we use essentially the same process to make l n g. which yield natural gas. so mainly me thing to about minus 160 degrees celsius. that's when it becomes liquids and $600.00 times small that and volume that makes it possible to ship and trade it overseas. the substitute for sure, when you want to transport gas across the long distance east of this answer, few cobalt researches, natural gas markets. if you want to transport natural gas from say, train. yeah. which of 520 to very know said ben said in 1969, the new find pioneer became the 1st ship to deliver an energy across the atlantic. today, more than 610 cars carry the stuff around the world. trade volumes had been growing

steadily over the last few decades and then in 2022 at n, g took center stage. and the russian invasion of ukraine is under way russia's full scale invasion of ukraine. russia invaded ukraine. russia is shutting down gas supplies, a complete halt to the flow of natural gas. as a response to economic sanctions from the west, russia shut its main pipeline and delivering natural gas to europe. europe, which at that time, good 40 percent off. it's natural gas. through pipelines from russia was scrambling to find new supplies. and so it was suddenly in the market for more and then g, d o n g is bit these fixing. so she's getting the basic key, retiring key to where so, and she's supposed to your peers as being so kind of saves you as to what went on europe starts of building more info to him and on so long it's coastline. this is where the tank of stuck the energy gets read yes,

a fights and then fed into the local network in the us. now the world's biggest expos spot to building more export terminals. this is where the natural gas gets liquefied and been loaded onto ships. but the one ukraine is really only half the story behind the current l. n g be the biggest demand actually lives in asia, china and india, and particular and massively expanding the input infrastructure to secure enough energy for the growing economies. this map shows all those and determine those that are already operating, those that are under construction and those that have been proposed. there are enough projects and developments to triple google export capacity with energy and increase effective work capacity by 2 thirds. this is robert roseanne sky. he's a research show for global energy money to all the n g o which compiled the map. probably not all of that is going to be built by you and it's just something that

gets built. it's very cons. marshall, who sees huge vcs, absolutely key jacob, which begs the question, what does it mean for global warming? there's been this assumption that transporting liquefied natural gas and these must have congress ships, is extremely low emissions. this is pull balcony chemical engineer who measures the gas industries, methane emissions. and i think with just understanding in the last couple of years that maybe does not quite say true. here's the thing. when you burn natural gas in the power station, it admits only half as much c o 2 as coal. that's great, but it ignores what happened before on the way to the power station and for n g, that's a pretty long way. you 1st have to get natural gas out of the ground, then turn it into a l. n. g. at liquefaction plant van, ship it where it needs to go from thousands of kilometers away, then turn it back into a gas, and only then can you bring it in the power station. all these steps use energy. for example, the initial cooling of the gas and the fueling of the ship. this,

that c o 2 emissions to make meant as was something else might be escaping at every step of the way. the same big problem with me by dimensions is that it's a very power greenhouse gas urinate, very small amounts of methane emissions to have a big time. in fact, that's because it initially traps more heat than c o 220 years after it's been released me things woman power still move in a t times. great. so the problem is we still don't really know how much of this stuff is escaping along the energy supply chain. the companies haven't really been required to measure that right. or emissions side, which is that really has the dates. and so rece relatively recently when we start to expand academics and other other organizations, we started getting on the ships to go and collect some of the main thing and for some states. and so we've got maybe sort of 5 percent of the way into it. and we need to need to do the rest of the 95 percent to really get a better understanding of the images. one of his recent studies for example,

found more me thing them previously. thoughts slipped through analogy, ships engines. the thing is this. if me find emissions along the supply chain and turn out to be quite high, and then these climate benefits of other fossil fuels shrinks. a recent study even claims, it's worse for the climate than digging up and burning coal. they must be set low. this hasn't been peer reviewed yet, and many similar studies conclude energy is still the cleaner way of generating power. the, i mean, these are the secondary questions. so that is a guy, so it's better, is it good enough? and the answer is, invariably no, is not good. enough to me out of time to talk it's, it's hard to see how you can keep building, always elegy infrastructure and your client. because at the same time, we reached out to 2 energy industry groups to he a value on this, the center for island g and the international group of liquefied guessing process. the 1st never go back to us,

but the 2nd degree to an interview. so how did they bring together, how climate goals and more n g is not symmetric contradiction. if you go to the fact that the gas and energy again failed the energy transition, the industry has so long argued that natural gas is vital in lowering emissions by replacing coals, particularly in asia where it's still used widely. of course, at the end, if you want to reach the need 0, need to move to newest one. move away from chain the sourcing fuse and the natural gas is pure. but yes, for the medium of them. you know, i'm telling you that the switch is very important, the risk of building more fossil fuel infrastructure of any kind. so is that we locked in emissions for decades and then g time. and those have a life span of 20 years or more. delta rates has also often signed long term supply contracts guaranteeing that one for decades. if we make

a massive investments right now and such that it makes continuing, these fossil fuels right, cheaper, more, cheaper than other investments. and we have to be really careful about that. so energy is climate credentials of questionable, at the very least that's to be fair. climate action hasn't really been that the top of the old and gas industry is agenda one. thing has though, money look at this charge. the predict how energy trade will evolve until the 25th, the assuming governments will do what they promise to protect the clients. now this is the energy infrastructure already in place, and this is the one we currently building more of, and we actually need to what's going to happen with these new terminals. there's the risk that's if we do me stay on track to meeting our climate. deluxe, obviously. so these new new facilities to be built not use much, maybe we'll have to strain that assets. that means bait shut down before they made

back the money it cost to build the that could mean billions of investor and government money down the drain. again, we put this to the industry groups between you depends on your cdn energy demand ring and it's very odd to predict should have a page uh hold on a little bit. so $265.00. before that we energy released the median, even increase the google gas demand is decreasing. so the silver capacity. we don't make any scenarios or predictions at the jr idea now, but i would say there is a risk, but that should be the needed. and that's the problem with predicts means how much financial sense it makes, takes a backseat to you. it's more about having the infrastructure in place, if other supplies dry up like a type of, than europe with restaurants, pipeline guess. so well, so that leave us, should we push ahead with the lindsey expansion or pump the brakes? well, that's a tricky question. energy does have its benefits. it's flexible,

versatile, and fairly cheap bucks. it also raises 2 major concerns. firstly, we need to make a 100 percent sure, it's actually better for the climates than other fossil fuels. what we really need to do is if a low vision, so we need to prove it. if it isn't, we need to work out how we can drive them down because it seems that all of the, the fossil fuel and categories, it seems that energy may well be the last one that we, that we rely on. and secondly, we need to get a better idea how much energy we really needs and for how long the alternative self 0 after year we're seeing new was become cheaper and cheaper, easier to build. and it's clear that we send the power sector and that renewables could be a great replacement from all of this potential gas demand. when all said and done. and in g remains of fossil fuel. if we're serious about slowing climate change,

we need to digits the sooner the better. and every time, even though we built, makes that hot a what about you? does your country rely on that? lindsey, how do you feel about it? let us know in the comments and don't forget to hit subscribe for more videos like this. every friday. the every car tires, drive deforestation. 70 percent of the world's river harvest goes to the tire industry. massive terrain. tire makers are turning towards cycling and using alternative raw materials, a real change of heart for just more green washing those up

next on d w. actually we don't have a choice. i think that we have little time list to save the planet. so we have students who become as fast as possible. can we abandon fossil fuels completely? some are pioneering the energy transition today. for them, the future is already here. the renewable revolution in 45 minutes on the w, the nash finished a red flag. and then just to see a quote, you can make sure sure go you for use.
