On the first day of the Global Petroleum Show in Calgary, Pieridae's CEO Alfred Sorensen was part of a keynote panel that discussed gas and LNG and how it is changing our energy future. Total demand for oil and gas is expected to rise by 30 per cent between now and 2040, and LNG demand could double by 2030. Sorensen, along with industry leaders from Shell, Peyto Exploration & Development, and the B.C. LNG Alliance offered insight into the opportunities and obstacles facing Canada as it attempts to play a role in supplying the globe with much-needed natural gas. All agreed natural gas can change the lives of many globally who currently have no access to clean-burning, inexpensive fuel to heat their homes and cook their food.
