Liquefied-natural gas (LNG) is a bridge fuel that will help the world reach decarbonization as an energy source that is vastly cleaner than its hydrocarbon competitors, such as diesel and coal. When it comes to power generation, it is still able to employ much of the infrastructure used by other fossil fuels. Lately, it has assumed another role: in Europe, LNG is protecting the continent from a total blackout as Vladimir Putin is contemplating turning off the spigot, while in the United States, it is a gold mine that can potentially turn the country into a future energy superpower.
