Petrochemicals have created a wide range of modern products which have made themselves indispensable to society. The manufacture of those products absorbs an increasing proportion of the world’s oil and gas and the sector accounts for 11% of global final energy demand. This share is expected to increase in the future driven by the sector’s activity growth. Feedstock represents about half of the total energy inputs to the sector, almost 90% of which is oil and gas. Despite its size, the sector continues to take a back seat in the global energy debate. Join the Center on Global Energy Policy for a presentation and discussion with Peter Levi, Energy Analyst at IEA and the co-lead author of the upcoming IEA report titled The Future of Petrochemicals. The study explores the role of the sector in today’s global energy system and how its significance for global energy security and the environment is set to increase on the basis of established trends. The report also draws a path to an alternative scenario consistent with different UN sustainable development goals and assesses the resulting upstream impacts on oil and natural gas demand. Katherine Spector, Research Scholar at CGEP, will moderate the discussion with Mr. Levi following the presentation. Registration is required. Guests unable to attend can view a livestream of the event at http://energypolicy.columbia.edu/livestream. A podcast of this event will be available about week after the date of the event through iTunes and our website. This event is open to press.

Saudi Arabia’s recent moves into the liquefied natural gas (LNG) market may be a sign the giant oil exporter is looking to expand into a rapidly growing and politically influential market it had long ignored.
Over the past few decades, liquified natural gas (LNG) trade has evolved from the initial point-to-point business model of the 1960s to become more flexible.
Calls to "Drill, baby drill" are back with Donald Trump's return to the White House, and for US natural gas production, the catchphrase might also be a necessity over the next three years if demand for the fuel grows as steeply as expected.
