#Methaneemissions from liquid natural gas (LNG) production and use have significant environmental impacts due to methane's potency as a greenhouse gas. Here’s a breakdown of the effects: #EnvironmentalImpact 1. #GlobalWarming: - #GreenhouseGas Potency: Methane is over 25 times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere over a 100-year period. - Short-Term Impact: Over a 20-year period, methane is approximately 84 times more potent than CO₂. 2. #ClimateChange Acceleration: - #TemperatureRise: Increased methane emissions contribute to the acceleration of global temperature rise. - #ExtremeWeather: The warming effect can lead to more frequent and severe weather events, such as hurricanes, droughts, and heatwaves. #ImpactonLife 1. #Ecosystems: - #HabitatDisruption: Climate change can disrupt ecosystems, affecting plant and animal species and potentially leading to loss of biodiversity. - #OceanAcidification: Increased CO₂ from associated processes can lead to ocean acidification, affecting marine life. 2. #HumanHealth: - #AirQuality: Methane emissions can contribute to the formation of ground-level ozone, which can cause respiratory problems and other health issues. - Heat-Related Illnesses: Rising temperatures can increase the incidence of heat-related illnesses and deaths. 3. #Agriculture: - #CropYields: Climate change can affect weather patterns, leading to reduced crop yields and food security issues. - #LivestockHealth: Extreme weather can also impact livestock health and productivity. #Mitigatingmethane emissions from #LNG is critical for addressing climate change and protecting both the environment and human health.

With the transition towards renewables, EVs, etc the demand for metals and minerals will certainly go up. The big commodity traders are positioning themselves to maximize on this opportunity. Africa should ensure that the continent obtains fair values for its metals and minerals.

“Metals play a vital role in shaping the future of energy. Whether it's the construction of solar panels or the manufacturing of batteries, metals like nickel and copper are indispensable in enabling us to diversify our energy sources and pave the way for a sustainable future.”   In our latest Meet our People video, Georgios Stamopoulos from our Metals and Minerals Operations Team in Athens shares how he's connecting with multiple teams and stakeholders daily to ensure the smooth transit of critical metals essential for driving the energy transition from point A to point B.   Find out more about the range of exciting careers at Trafigura via the links below: https://lnkd.in/edM-BzJG https://lnkd.in/eFjjMEhA   #ConnectingVitalResources #Trafigura #TrafiguraCareers #SupplyChains #SupplyChainManagement #TrafiguraAthens #CriticalMetals #EnergyTransition

Interest of investors and private banks We invite investors to join wise investment and offer financial opportunities or loans ranging from $10 million to $1 billion to our clients who want to grow their business in North America in various industry sectors including real estate, infrastructure, mining, oil and gas, refineries, pipelines, etc. We often receive more than 20 requests to help our customers every week. Although we have a database of private investors and banks to access, our investors do not take many projects at once until the current projects we offer them are funded.

Note: We encourage our clients to seek legal advice from their attorneys on any recommendations we provide to them. We prefer to deal directly with investors or private banks rather than brokers.

The sale includes Mosman's assets at Stanley, Greater Stanley, and other properties in Texas. It marks a shift in the company’s strategic focus toward helium exploration.
