BG Group accepts that global warming is occurring and that the use of fossil fuels is a significant cause

Gas is the lowest carbon fossil fuel with 22% less carbon than oil and 40% less than coal

Gas is capable of much higher conversion efficiencies than other fossil fuels. Over 50% efficiency is achieved by combined cycle gas technology compared with approximately 35% for modern coal-fired generation

It is widely accepted that natural gas will play an important role in greenhouse gas emission reduction

BG Group has a responsibility to minimise its own emissions of greenhouse gases

Energy is essential to social and economic progress. By supplying a relatively low carbon fuel and supporting energy efficient uses, BG contributes to sustainable development.
