NGI’s Hub & Flow

Is Renewable Energy About to Boom?

The war in Ukraine has completely upended the global energy system. Still, companies, governments and investors continue to charge ahead with renewable energy plans -- including renewable natural gas and hydrogen -- in the quest to bring down emissions and meet net zero targets. In this episode of Hub & Flow, NGI senior editor Chris Lenton talks to NGI senior analysts Shaylon Stolk and Josten Mavez about the renewable energy landscape and how natural gas fits into the mix.

Tracing Lithium’s Journey in the Energy Transition

Lithium is one of the key raw materials in the energy transition, and it is a byproduct of oil and gas production – a component of the salty brines that accompany hydrocarbon production. The oil and gas industry is increasingly exploring how to extract lithium from produced water. As oil and gas producers contemplate becoming lithium producers as well, raw materials traceability via digitized supply chains is receiving more attention from the extractive industries as well as manufacturers and governments. In this installment of NGI's Hub & Flow podcast, Jess Green of UK-based Circulor talks to NGI Associate Editor Matthew Veazey about the growing importance of traceability along the supply chain for lithium from the standpoint of environmental, social, and governance – or ESG – compliance.

LNG is Hot! Can the U.S. Answer the Call to Supply More Global Demand?

Global demand for natural gas continues to skyrocket in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Helping to offset supply into Europe and Asia, demand for U.S. LNG exports have also risen, subsequently boosting natural gas prices at Henry Hub to +10-year highs. Companies around the world are fast-tracking infrastructure developments – from FSRUs to new train expansions, from pipeline construction to deepwater Fast FLNG –  in an effort to boost LNG imports and exports. With mounting export projects moving forward as quickly as possible across the U.S. and Mexico, will exploration & production in the Haynesville, Permian and Marcellus be able to feed these demand centers? Join Patrick Rau, strategy and research director at Natural Gas Intelligence, as he puts the global natural gas puzzle pieces together in this episode of NGI’s Hub & Flow podcast.
