MEI Seminar #3: Liquefied natural gas and export

HYBRID EVENT

We invite you to the third seminar in our MEI Seminar Series for 2025, presented by Carolyn Au, Production Manager, Shell Australia.

The liquefaction of natural gas, first commercialised in the 1930s, has provided a safe and practical method of transporting energy around the world, delivering it from remote and isolated origin locations to economies, markets, and households thousands of kilometres away.

This seminar will look at the LNG Value Chain, including the history of liquefied natural gas (LNG), its growth to becoming almost one quarter of the world’s supply of energy today and some present realities impacting the LNG industry, as well as future directions taking into consideration carbon intensity and global impacts. LNG is considered a key transition to a net zero future, and countries such as Australia’s role in the world LNG supply and export chain will be critical to this journey.
