Adelaide — Australia's vast liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry is trying to pull off something that seems almost impossible. They want to lead the transition to clean and renewable energy, while at the same time continuing to invest in, and produce fossil fuels. The over-arching message from the industry annual conference was that the LNG producers see themselves as drivers of the change to net-zero, and that they are best-placed to deliver the solutions that will end carbon emissions while still providing the needed energy for humanity. Australia is the world's largest exporter of LNG, though it is likely to overtaken by rivals the US and Qatar, as both those countries expand capacity at a faster pace. Australia's LNG producers also want to develop new natural gas fields and processing plants, and at the same time invest billions of dollars to decarbonise their industry and develop new energy sources, such as hydrogen and ammonia.
