At the 2025 International Transport Forum (ITF) Summit in Leipzig, Machteld de Haan, President of Downstream, Renewables and Energy Solutions at Shell, delivered a robust defence of the role of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the transition to low-carbon energy and a decarbonised transport system.
De Haan began by acknowledging the pervasive sense of uncertainty in today’s world, driven by geopolitical unrest and the rapid pace of change. She noted that this uncertainty is particularly evident in the transition to low-carbon energy, where questions about the pace of transition, economic incentives, and the adoption of new technologies abound.
