1.4. Several events explain the changes that have taken place in the policy space since 2014. First, the 2015 Paris Agreement, which Qatar ratified on 23 June 2017, included several commitments towards reducing the world's carbon footprint. [2] As a result, and aware of the bridge role that gas plays with renewable energies, Qatar Petroleum (QP) completed several projects such as CO2 reinjection projects at Ras Laffan, recovery of the Jetty Boil-off Gas during LNG loading operations, flare reduction and energy efficiency enhancement projects which are under operation. Moreover, QP is undergoing project to further reduce GHG emissions in the existing as well as new projects such as North Field Expansion Project. QP also entered into a strategic joint venture with companies specialized in renewable energy production to produce around 1,600 megawatts in Qatar. In this sense, Qatar has made gas and its related products the main tool in its strategy to combat the effects of climate change. Consistent with this, analysts continue to expect gas to be the only fossil fuel to grow beyond 2035. [3]
[2] These are: (i) holding the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 C above pre-industrial levels, pursuing the limit of no more than 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels; (ii) developing capacities to deal with the adverse consequences of global warming without threatening food production; and (iii) financing of low greenhouse-gas emissions and climate-resilient development. Article 2 of the Paris Agreement.
