As the world accelerates away from current primary energy sources – oil and gas - development of substitutes is gathering pace.  Competition for liquefied natural gas, which means fuel can be brought from a variety of sources with less reliance on geographical limitations has intensified in the wake of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Meanwhile, countries worldwide are racing to develop green hydrogen and decarbonisation technologies such as carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) to mitigate emissions from the most polluting industries. The EU-China
