These entities are poised to control the vast majority of the 34.5 Bcf/d, an equivalent of 42 percent of U.S. 2018 demand that has been approved for export by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to non-free trade agreement (NFTA) countries for periods of up to 30 years. The DOE plans to approve another 20.0 Bcf/d, an equivalent to 25 percent of 2018 demand, that is pending or in pre-filing to export. There is also growing ownership in U.S. LNG export terminals, natural gas resources, and importantly, direct or indirect control of firm natural gas pipeline transportation, which results in less access to, control, and availability of these resources and pipeline capacity for U.S. consumers, manufacturers, and power generators. Inadequate pipeline capacity at peak demand would prevent power plants from operating and threaten grid reliability.

    FINANCIAL ANALYSIS WITH LIQUIDITY AND PROFITABILITY RATIOS OF PERTAMINA AND CHINA PETROLEUM CORPORATION FROM 2013 TO 2018 MERLINA 40800042 CHENG SHIU UNIVERSITY ABSTRACK The purpose of this study is to measure, find out, and compare the financial performance of Pertamina and China Petroleum Corporation (CPC) companies in Taiwan, as measured by liquidity ratios (Current ratios, quick ratios, and cah ratios) and profitability ratios (Net profit margin, return on assets, return on equity, and gross profit margin ratio) using financial statement data from the two companies starting in 2013 to 2018. With the financial statement data analyzed using descriptive methods and trend analysis, the results of the analysis of the two companies show that Pertamina is more superior to Taiwan's CPC. Suggestions for further research are, it is hoped that researchers can increase the scope of company research with other countries, as well as increase financial ratio research to measure and assess the company's financial performance so that it is more detailed to obtain information. Keywords: Liquidity ratios, profitability ratios, company comparisons. 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT First I thank "Allah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala" because of him I was able to complete this research smoothly, and I say many thanks to my supervisor lecturer "Paul" who helped a lot, and guided me to complete this research. , thank you also to the IBI Darmajaya campus for giving me the opportunity to take part in a joint research program and for the Cheng Shiu University campus for accepting me to complete my research.

  • The Carbon Neutral LNG Market: Creating a Framework for Real
    THE CARBON-NEUTRAL LNG MARKET: CREATING A FRAMEWORK FOR REAL EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS BY ERIN BLANTON AND SAMER MOSIS JULY 2021 As governments and companies consider options to decarbonize their energy systems, addressing greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas and liquified natural gas (LNG) will inevitably become a greater concern. Natural gas is viewed by some as potentially providing a bridge in a broad energy transition from dependence on fossil fuels to lower-emission sources. Even with advancements in renewable energy, many forecasts show natural gas will remain core to meeting global energy demand for some time, including as a backup fuel source for renewables.1 But as the emissions profile of the natural gas value chain has become clearer, estimates of its footprint have increased, raising questions about natural gas’s transitory function. While gas will continue to have a prominent role in the energy mix,2 without action to better account for, reduce, and offset natural gas and LNG emissions, the breadth and length of its use will increasingly come into question—including by countries with growing energy demand who see diminishing incentive to favor natural gas over high-emitting but fiscally cheap fuel sources, such as coal. Amid these considerations, discussions of value chain carbon intensity and greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting are becoming an important component of LNG trade, giving rise to the concept of “carbon-neutral LNG.” In the trade of carbon-neutral LNG, GHG emissions from supply and/or consumption are accounted for

Scientific observations show that this reservoir is over time affected by increased frequencies of high sedimentation and overflows, due to unpredictable high rainfall and typhoons necessitating heavy repair and maintenance costs. This clearly illustrates an effect of global warming making such phenomena visible at local level (urban heat island effect, for example). A review of existing body of literature on Shihmen reservoir indicated that most previous studies focused from their own disciplinary perspectives. However, the relevant stakeholders of the reservoir including the practitioners and policy makers would be better served if such studies considered using system- approach.
