About this book
The Palgrave Handbook of Natural Gas and Global Energy Transitions provides an in-depth and authoritative examination of the transformative implications of the ongoing global energy transitions for natural gas markets across the world.
With case studies from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, Latin America, South America, Australia, and the Middle East, the volume introduces readers to the latest legal, policy, technological, and fiscal innovations in natural gas markets in response to ongoing global energy transitions. It outlines the risk mitigation strategies and contractual techniques — focusing on resilience planning, low-carbon business models, green procurement, climate-smart infrastructure development, accountability, gender justice, and other sustainability safeguards — that are required to maximize the full value of natural gas as a catalyst for a just and equitable energy transition and for energy security acrossthe world.
Written in an accessible style, this book outlines the guiding principles for a responsible and low-carbon approach to the design, financing, and implementation of natural gas development and commercialization. It is an indispensable text and reference work for students, scholars, practitioners, and stakeholders in natural gas, energy, infrastructure, and environmental investments and projects.

"Natural gas is widely seen as the fuel of the energytransition given its lower carbon footprint and the intermittency of most current renewable sources. The European Commission has even decided that power plants burning natural gas can be considered generators of green energy. Moreover, recent spiking prices and international conflicts have raised global awareness of energy security boosting interest in the gas industry. It is thus timely to have a book providing a comprehensive, cross-country and cross-disciplinary approach of natural gas markets with special focus on its ongoing transformation and recent trends. Especially useful for policymakers, regulators, industry professionals and scholars."
