IGU – The Role of Gas in Eastern Mediterranean Economies and the Path to the Energy Transition

Natural gas plays a crucial role in the energy transition by replacing more carbon-intensive energy sources and supporting renewable energy.

Natural gas is a cleaner, more affordable, and sustainable alternative to coal and oil, contributing to CO2 emissions reduction. The use of gas improves air quality and health by reducing pollutants. Gas infrastructure can be adapted for low-carbon fuels such as hydrogen and renewable methane, supporting long-term decarbonization goals.
