LNG TV | Climate Neutral Commodity | Frontiers & Pioneers
Release Date: 11/29/2021
Description: This week on Frontiers and Pioneers, we welcome Paul Sebastien and Christophe Riedi to discuss Climate Neutral Commodity’s pioneering solution to the lack of standardization and transparency in carbon-neutral transactions. With the process of measuring and mitigating the carbon footprint of a transaction being very complex, and the potential reputational and financial risk to an organization, where claims of carbon neutrality can be shown to be unreliable, Paul and Christophe explain why the CNC’s independent, verified, and transparent climate-neutral certification, ensures best practices, based on recognized standards. We also discuss: - What can be done to tackle Carbon Reduction & Emissions? - Green LNG, Carbon Neutral LNG Cargo’s, why is there so much demand? - What actually is a Carbon Neutral Cargo - Is LNG lacking climate neutral standardisation? - What the future looks like for Green LNG This episode is presented by Aly Vance and Will Dawson. Also available to watch online at LNG TV Frontiers & Pioneers is brought to you in association with Sempra LNG
