Buoyed by record profits, the #oil industry is developing 24,166 km of new oil pipelines ‼️ Enough to stretch two-thirds around Earth 🌍 🏗️10,351 km of pipelines under construction 💵 A stranded asset risk of up to USD 75.4 billion Get our new oil infrastructure deep dive🧵

“Despite climate targets threatening to render fossil fuel infrastructure as stranded assets, the world’s biggest consumers of fossil fuels, led by the US and China, are doubling down on oil pipeline expansion.” theguardian.com/environment/20…

NEW: The U.S. #LNG sector is benefitting from a dramatic increase in contracts and approvals for new export terminals since #Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine, part of a global surge in export capacity that is also being led by Russia, Canada, Mexico, and Qatar #ONGT 🧵

💵Banking 📈Insurance 💻Tech All employ #lobbyists who also work for #FossilFuel companies The *NEW* Fossil Fuel Lobby List tracks: >1600 lobbyists working for >600 fossil fuel companies and >14,000 non-fossil fuel clients 🧵 #COP27

#Gas infrastructure build-out in #Africa represents US$245 billion stranded asset risk, as power plants, pipelines and #LNG terminals intended not for domestic consumption but rather to correct for Europe’s short-term energy crisis 🧵 /1

Even as the global gas crisis upends the liquefied natural gas trade, Asia is still positioned to build the majority of new terminals to import #LNG. /1 #ONGT

"#Pakistan’s increasing dependence on #LNG is not only a contravention of its commitment to the #ParisAgreement, but also against the spirit and principles of #climatejustice.. Pakistan needs to invest more in alternative green energy" - Azhar Lashari thenews.com.pk/tns/detail/103…

In 2021 W. #Balkans consumed just 4% of the #gas that 🇩🇪 used in a year. Region now plans 💶 EUR 3.5 billion to: 🏭 ~3x gas-fired capacity for electricity 🚢 its first two #LNG import terminals in 🇲🇪 🇦🇱; and 🏗️ ~3000 km of new pipelines to draw in gas from 🇬🇷🇭🇷 Read more ↩️

[Opinion] Instead of funding the creation of largely new gas demand in the region, the EU and US would be better off doubling down on the Western Balkans' energy transition. By CEE Bankwatch Network euobserver.com/opinion/156984

New Research Alert! ⤵️ Gas transmission pipelines under construction globally have increased by 18% to approximately 69,700 km, enough to circle the Earth 1.5 times! Dive into our latest brief for comprehensive insights: bit.ly/3GQq9fL

Our latest briefing reveals a trillion-dollar $$ #LNG stocktake spurred on by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. 75% of new export capacity is planned in just 5 countries, while Asian & European nations scramble for new import capacity. Learn more: bit.ly/3RRQ7Ww

Looking at the contracts signed for this US LNG terminal Biden has paused on Global Energy Monitor. The industry plan seems to be to sell to Japan and China as much as Europe. But 'gas to China' probably doesn't play as well as 'gas to help Europe against Putin'.

I was disappointed to see my alma mater Brown University considering a major #LNG investment with New Fortress Energy, and Zero Hour’s op-ed in the BDH is spot on Investing in LNG goes against the university's climate commitments and its values

LNG is inherently an insecure fuel for Europe, as Fossil Free Media explains well in this short. Domestic renewables avoid much of its supply chain risks and volatility, and have already made inroads weaning Europe’s economy off of gas youtube.com/watch?v=JNEGi0…
