Asia Natural Gas & Energy Association

This story highlights one of the less recognised and appreciated benefits that gas can have for the energy systems of Asia, particularly those of emerging economies. Liquefied petroleum gas - a by-product from processing of natural gas and refining of crude oil - can serve as an affordable cooking fuel for communities that are still using traditional energy sources such as coal, wood and animal dung. According to the World Health Organization, around 2.1 billion people worldwide -- about a third of the global population -- cook using open fires or inefficient stoves fueled by kerosene; biomass such as wood, animal dung and crop waste; and coal, which generates harmful household air pollution.

This is a typically informative piece of analysis about the global energy landscape and the state of the energy transition by Daniel Yergin. As the article notes, the complexity of balancing energy security and decarbonisation aspirations is ever-growing in tandem with strongly rising energy demand (particularly from emerging economies). It is clear that natural gas will have a critical role to play, as an alternative to coal that produces far fewer emissions in power generation. (Note: this is a long article, running out to about 5000 words. But it's well worth reading!). #energysecurity #energytransition #naturalgas

ANGEA CEO Paul Everingham is enjoying the opportunity to be part of EIC (Energy Industries Council) Connect Energy Borneo 2025 in Kuching. A very well attended event with very relevant conversations about the energy transition and the future of energy systems across Asia.

Great to see our member company ExxonMobil making a significant investment in Australia's energy security, in partnership with Mitsui E&P Australia (MEPAU) and fellow ANGEA member Woodside Energy. Gas has a massive role to play in Australia's energy transition and there is a strong need for more supply on the country's east coast. Continuing to unlock new fields and expand existing ones will help meet Australian gas needs and also provide LNG to support decarbonisation of economies in Asia. #naturalgas #energytransition #energysecurity

Many thanks to the The Business Times for including our commentary on the outlook for Singapore as an energy hub. The full story is available at: https://bt.sg/g/6Jps Singapore will continue to be a key link in global and regional supply for both oil and gas. With increasing volumes of US gas likely headed to Asia in the years (and decades ahead), Singapore's opportunity as an LNG hub could grow.

The establishment of a domestic industry is the just the start of the carbon capture and storage opportunity for Malaysia. ANGEA CEO Paul Everingham outlines how Malaysia's ability to contribute to cross-border CCS projects will support the regional energy transition.

As he prepares to travel to Malaysia for EIC (Energy Industries Council) Connect Energy Borneo, ANGEA CEO Paul Everingham reflects on the country's enormous potential for cross-border carbon capture and storage. With Asia's nascent CCS industry rapidly gathering momentum, there's a real buzz about what's happening in Malaysia. #ccs #carboncapture #energytransition #decarbonisation #decarbonization

With significant storage space, an existing oil and gas industry and government support, Malaysia has key attributes to support the development of cross-border carbon capture and storage projects. As ANGEA CEO Paul Everingham writes, Malaysia's progress towards its CCS ambitions is well timed.

ANGEA CEO Paul Everingham is delighted to be speaking at next week's EIC (Energy Industries Council) Connect Energy Borneo event in Sarawak. Paul will feature on two panels: ▪️ discussing the importance of gas to the energy systems of Asia and Malaysia ▪️examining the need for regional cooperation to accelerate the development of cross-border CCS in our region. Many thanks to the EIC for the opportunity to be involved in the conference. #naturalgas #ccs #carboncapture
