What is the Role of Natural Gas in a Decarbonized Energy Future

Gas and hydrocarbons represent 90% of the world’s energy. This has to change, but how will it play out? How will gas affect different sectors; how will it interact with other energy sources? Do renewables require gas? What are the drawbacks and the real measures of what’s good and what’s bad about gas? This candid conversation with leading gas experts from Stanford University spanning the value chain, and industry expert and distinguished leader Maarten Wetselaar, explores these questions and more.

Professor Zoback is the moderator for a panel on "What is the Role of Natural Gas in a Decarbonized Energy Future" organized by the Churchill Club and featuring Professor Sally Benson, Precourt Energy Institute Director, Stanford University Professor Adam Brandt, Assistant Professor of Engineering, Department of Energy Resources Engineering, Stanford University and Maarten Wetselaar, Integrated Gas Director and Executive Committee Member, Royal Dutch Shell.
