Doha: Speakers at a panel discussion on Liquified Natural Gas as an enabler for a low-Carbon future agreed that the State of Qatar plays a pivotal role in providing table and reliable long-term supplies of the commodity, a crucial part of supporting energy security and advancing emissions-reduction efforts.

The session was held as part of the 21st International Conference & Exhibition on Liquefied Natural Gas in Doha.

The panelists affirmed that LNG constitutes a fundamental pillar in achieving a low-carbon energy future while ensuring security of supply, grid stability, and the availability of reliable and affordable energy amid growing global demand.

In this context, Global CEO and Chair of JERA (the world's largest LNG buyer) said that energy markets were experiencing unprecedented volatility on three daily, long-term, and seasonally.

He stressed that LNG was the fastest practical solution to address the intermittency of renewable energy and meet rising demand from data centers, underscoring the importance of diversifying supply sources, developing trading capabilities, and investing in emissions-reduction technologies using existing infrastructure.
