• “Legendary investor Warren Buffett’s decision to walk away from a proposed export terminal for liquefied natural gas in Quebec is
being held up in a new report as a sign that the LNG sector in Canada and elsewhere is on shaky ground. The Global Energy Monitor
report released Monday says Buffett’s move in March underscores the growing political and economic uncertainty that LNG projects are
facing even as governments around the world tout liquefied natural gas as a clean alternative to coal power.

ESG Tip –How to leverage Data and AI as part of reducing impact of projects on Biodiversity.
Managing the impact of policy on biodiversity is key part of ESG reporting. acQuire has develop a solution that help
chart out projects that may impact the biodiversity. Both public and private sector want to mitigate the impact of their
various projects on biodiversity.
acQuire - https://www.acquire.com.au/products/gim-suite/
*** Tip – Key will be how best to integrate the data from software developers like acQuire along with other geospatial
data and data sources into a template as part of calculating costs to reduce the biodiversity impact of various projects.

21. ESG
Blog – Strong ESG practices can benefit both Private and Public Sectors and their Stakeholders -
https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/strong-esg-practices-can-benefit-companies-and-investors-2019-03-13
1.Strong ESG programs can increase stock liquidity.
2.ESG initiatives can unlock competitive value.
3. A proactive stance on ESG issues can keep activists at bay.
4.ESG Investors are "stickier."
5.Companies that espouse strong ESG values tend to attract and retain the best talent.
Best Practices areas
a) Identify the appropriate ESG criteria for your industry and your company.
b) Pursue inclusion within relevant ESG indices.
c).Tell your story and stay true to it.
I will add that aligning data with the ESG policies is extremely critical part of the overall ESG regulatory and operational cycles. Both private and public sector
enterprises continue to look at ways to manage ESG data in near-real-time-reporting. Pushing data out to devices will become a key part managing the
various ESG metrics.
Here are key links that can assist your ESG data journey as part of your regulatory and operational reporting cycles:

This is excellent article that will impact many Planning Analytics customers that are in the utility sector.
This is perfect time to target the integrated planning and reporting cycle as part of capital upgrades to achieve the
EPA emissions targets.

23. WHAT’S NEXT
• Natural gas continues to see wild
swings
Blog – What is next for Natural Gas – August 2023
Natural gas continues to see wild swings due to demand and capacity issues.
South Korea is looking at developing hydrogen power plants as part of moving to net zero.
Australia, Qatar, and the United States continue to benefit from their LNG exports.
Renewable investments are drying up in countries like Australia. There are many problems with wind and
solar
. Solar needs to be more tactical as part of supporting residential, commercial, industrial, and
institutional facilities. Facilities managers are looking at how best to build new buildings that will embody
CO2 emissions as part of their design.
