        Singapore

        Singapore is the region’s second-largest gas importer. The country is expanding its existing LNG importing facility and is seeking to become a major LNG trading hub. Singapore’s relatively small import needs raise questions about how quickly the hub would reach sufficient liquidity to operate efficiently, but it is nonetheless well placed to bring Asian LNG buyers and sellers together and has taken a major step forward with the creation of an LNG price index: the “SLiNG”.
        Singapore has made important moves towards liberalising its gas market, providing the basis for more competitive price setting. These moves include…

        Gas Flaring

        CO2 emissions
        The volumes of natural gas flared in 2022 were around the same level as in 2010
        Technology deployment
        Oil producers have a range of readily available options to reduce and avoid flaring, with a number of new technologies also under development
        Policy
        A number of countries have introduced policies to reduce flaring
        Investment
        Operators that sell high-flaring assets are often passing on a problem to other operators that may be less willing, or less able, to cut down on flaring

        Canada is set to play a leading role in supplying the world with responsibly produced critical minerals

        …multiple stages of the supply chain domestically. It also has the potential to significantly scale up production capacity. Canada’s lithium reserves, for instance, could supply around half of cumulative global demand from 2030 to 2050. Canada, which hosts about half of the world’s publicly listed mining and exploration companies, is already a major centre for the global mining industry. Though mineral mining takes place in every province and territory, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan account for about three-quarters of total exploration spending domestically and 85% of total capital expenditure. Large urban cities such as Toronto and Vancouver…

Ensuring secure, sustainable and responsible supply chains In the years ahead, ensuring reliable supplies of critical minerals will be key to the security of energy systems. However, there are risks. Our analysis indicates that today’s well-supplied market may not be a good guide for the future as demand rises. Additionally, the over-concentration in critical minerals markets today is unprecedented compared with any other major commodity we rely on in the modern world.To support countries as they look to develop sufficient…
