<p>In March 2019, the Abdullah bin Hamad Al-Attiyah International Foundation for Energy and Sustainable Development hosted the CEO Roundtable Series on methane emissions from the oil and gas industry. Tackling the issue is crucial for natural gas to play a major role in a successful transition to a low carbon economy. The regular quarterly roundtable in Qatar&#39;s capital of Doha brought together international and local experts to discuss challenges and opportunities for the industry on the road to what is seen as the golden age for natural gas. There is an enormous opportunity for the natural gas industry to enhance its sustainability credentials and its market potential by addressing the challenge of methane, which is responsible for 25% of global warming. If not tackled, methane emissions can become an existential threat for the whole sector.</p>
