Gas facts

Natural gas, the fossil fuel with the lowest carbon emissions is regarded by many in the industry as the world’s transition fuel as we move away from hydrocarbons to cleaner energy sources.

BG Group, which includes QGC, works in co-operation with governments, partners and other stakeholders to find, develop and connect natural gas to markets worldwide.

Liquefied natural gas, often referred to as LNG, is merely natural gas that has been cooled to become a liquid, making it easier and more efficient to store and transport.

During the past few decades, liquefied natural gas technology has transformed the energy industry by allowing gas to be economically and safely transported around the world.

The Queensland Government has recognised the merits of gas as a cleaner source of energy by stipulating that 18% of the state’s electricity should be generated from natural gas by 2020.
