Shell defends increasing fossil LNG production at annual meeting

Shell defended increasing the production of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at its annual shareholders' meeting. This fossil fuel remains necessary because energy demand continues to increase due to population growth and increasing prosperity, chairman Andrew Mackenzie argued. Oil will also “play a vital role for a long time” because the aviation and transport sectors still have too few alternatives available, he said.
