Natural gas is a widely-utilized hydrocarbon energy resource renowned for its high calorific value. It primarily serves as a fuel in various sectors, such as power and transportation, and as a heating source for industrial and residential purposes.

Atlantic Energy and Infrastructure is an emerging player in the gas industry. It participates in developing a range of projects within the said industry. While the importance of NetZero and energy transition is highly appreciated, phasing out natural gas and its products does not seem realistic and viable, at least in the short and medium term, and may disadvantage energy transition.

Major market research suggests that the demand for natural gas, particularly in the form of liquid natural gas (LNG), is on the rise, and its market profile is expected to remain stable. Moreover, natural gas is known for its lower greenhouse gas emissions than other hydrocarbons, making it a more sustainable alternative.

Taking into consideration the said feature of natural gas, as well as its high energy value, availability, and flexibility, makes it a suitable, viable, and more environmentally friendly energy source alternative to other high-pollutant hydrocarbons such as coal and mazut, which are extensively used for power- and heat-generating purposes. Apart from being a reliable and lower-pollutant energy source, natural gas is also valuable for producing gray and blue hydrogen, as well as acting as feedstock for petrochemical production.

Considering the aforementioned, AEI still holds the belief that investing in and developing natural gas projects is feasible, economically viable, and somehow environmentally sound.

To meet current and future demand for natural gas and its products, AEI actively participates in developing natural gas midstream and downstream projects. In the downstream sector, AEI develops gas processing plants to produce intermediate and finished products, including LNG.

In the midstream sector, it is investing in pipelines, gas stations, storage, and terminal facilities to transport and store natural gas and its derivatives. Gas pipeline facilities are also intended to transport hydrogen through the hydrogen blending process.
