Editor's letter

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is fast becoming the go-to product for nations looking to fully commit to net zero and make the best use of transitional energy sources. In this issue, we look at the ways producers, users and importers are employing this hydrocarbon, and extracting every ounce of its value. 

Even though pipeline transportation of LNG is still the favoured method of moving the gas to where it’s needed most, LNG terminals are growing in size and importance. After assessing developments in regassification in our last issue, we now examine developments in liquefaction.  

And with Saudi Arabia planning its move away from a reliance on hydrocarbons to build a green future, we look at how that might play out over the next few decades.  

And speaking of going green, we also look at the implications of more battery electric vehicles (BEVs), also known as EVs, using our roads.  

Read on for all this, plus an entire supplement dedicated to cybersecurity in the oil and gas sector.
