What do the pledges from last week’s #LeadersClimateSummit mean for the future of natural gas?

Some starting points.
Natural gas is currently responsible for 22% of global CO2 emissions from energy, but is the world’s fastest growing fossil fuel.

Natural gas demand is expected to grow strongly in BAU scenarios.
But in IPCC 1.5C scenarios with low-to-moderate BECCS and low overshoot, gas demand falls 20-25% by 2030 on current levels - and up to 74% by 2050.

Day 2 of #ClimateLeadersSummit, convened by President @JoeBiden. President @MBuhari speaking today. Watch proceedings live here:
President Buhari commends USA for returning to the Paris Climate Agreement. #ClimateLeadersSummit
As a vulnerable country, Nigeria has undertaken major environmentally- sound and climate-friendly programs, says PMB. Goal is to cut emission by 20% unconditionally and 45% conditionally by 2030.

#ClimateLeadersSummit
A critical theme for the #LeadersClimateSummit is how raising our innovation ambition can raise the world's climate ambition. Bringing new and improved clean technologies to market can make net-zero transitions cheaper and faster around the world: state.gov/leaders-summit…
A staggering 45% of the emissions reductions we need for a swift net-zero transition must come from clean technologies that aren't yet in the marketplace, according to the @IEA.
We urgently need advances across a range of technologies, including long-duration energy storage, zero-carbon fuels, clean industrial processes, next-generation renewables, advanced mobility, net-zero buildings, carbon removal, clean agriculture, and much more.

I’m energized by the non-government players making moves to get us to a low carbon future. Government can lead the way and ensure accountability – but we also need the private sector to join us and do more. #LeadersClimateSummit
On the road to net-zero by 2050, six U.S. banks agreed to mobilize $4.1+ trillion in low carbon financing in the coming decade. Three leading US asset managers also committed to making all their assets under management ($19 trillion+) net-zero compliant by 2050.
Collectively, these commitments send a powerful signal and signify a marked increase in financial commitments to climate solutions. They also signal the United States is a global leader in helping the world meet the climate challenge.
We can’t solve the climate crisis without countries stepping up and committing the needed financial resources to drive the low-carbon transition. #LeadersClimateSummit
Public finance is a key means to help countries meet their climate goals and commitments, both in adaptation and mitigation.
President Biden just announced the United States will double the climate finance we provide for developing countries by 2024 relative to Obama-Biden levels, including for the poorest and most climate-vulnerable.

#BREAKING Biden doubles US climate ambition to 50-52% emission cuts by 2030
#UPDATE President Joe Biden on Thursday ramped up US ambitions on slashing greenhouse gas emissions, putting the United States back at the forefront with a summit he hopes brings the world closer to limiting the worst climate change

#BREAKING Biden sees 'extraordinary economic opportunity' in climate measures
The United States, the world's largest economy is about to officially annouce atleast a HALVING of its emissions and new @TheAusInstitute shows Australia should do the same

At Biden’s Earth Day Leaders #ClimateSummit tonight, Australia will be left behind when the US announce 50-52% cut to emissions by 2030.
We have no reason not to follow. That is what fair, proportional and aligned with Paris Agreement #auspol #abc730

New @TheAusInstitute research shows the US and Aus have followed parallel emission paths.
The US significant increase to 50% cut could be copied by Australia to keep both aligned.
Copying a 50% cut would be proportional and fair #auspol #abc730

I’ll be getting up early for this summit... which starts at 6am MT. The world leaders will talk in alphabetical order, based on their country. Yes, I wanna see what Australia has to say. No, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. theglobeandmail.com/business/artic… #cdnpoli
Well now this isn’t the leaders talking in alphabetical order at the climate summit at all! So far we’ve had USA, China, India, now UK. It’s a true international journey (that I cannot physically go 😷☹️). I suppose I’ve been all these places already BUT STILL. #cdnpoli
Tell you what tho this is quite the background behind Boris Johnson. Very arty.
Global CO2 emissions are set to jump by 1.5 gigatonnes in 2021 – led by a rebound in coal demand mainly from the power sector.
It would be the 2nd largest rise in emissions ever. This economic recovery is anything but sustainable for our climate.

Global coal demand is expected to rebound by 4.5% this year, taking it higher than in 2019 & close to its 2014 peak.
Coal's growth in 2021, driven by the power sector, is set to be 60% bigger than that of all renewables combined.

Demand for fossil fuels is growing rapidly in 2021, with gas set to rise the most above its 2019 level.
Oil demand is also rebounding fast, but with the aviation sector still sluggish, it is set to stay below its 2019 peak.
Major policy changes are needed to alter these trends.
