In this episode of the Energy Connects Podcast, Chiranjib Sengupta speaks with Artemis Kostarelli, Nature Director at Ipieca, to discuss why true sustainability in the energy sector extends beyond carbon reduction to encompass biodiversity, water stewardship, circularity and ecosystem protection. Artemis explains how companies can integrate nature into business decision-making through practical frameworks such as the mitigation hierarchy and biodiversity net gain. She also shares insights on the upcoming COP17 biodiversity conference in Armenia, highlighting the importance of turning global commitments into measurable action and how Ipieca is helping the industry deliver real-world outcomes for nature and communities.

In this episode of the Energy Connects Podcast recorded at Gastech 2026, Chiranjib Sengupta speaks with Anne-Sophie Corbeau, Global Research Scholar at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy, to explore the shifting dynamics of global LNG and natural gas markets. Anne-Sophie, who is also a columnist for Energy Connects, discusses growing concerns over supply security, market volatility, emerging LNG projects, and the increasingly critical role of the US in global trade flows. The conversation also examines gas as a critical pillar of energy security, the impact of AI-driven power demand, and the need for diversification across suppliers, routes and energy sources as countries navigate an increasingly complex energy landscape.

Ahead of Gastech 2026, host Danielle Martin speaks to Ben Dell, Chairman of Caturus, in the latest episode of the Energy Connects Podcast to discuss the company’s landmark final investment decision (FID) on Commonwealth LNG and the strategy driving its integrated wellhead-to-water model. With significant project financing secured, growing upstream production and a clear focus on execution, Dell shares how Caturus is building a fully integrated gas value chain to deliver reliable, competitive LNG to global markets. The conversation explores evolving LNG demand, investor confidence in natural gas, the role of US LNG in supporting energy security and decarbonisation goals, and the key milestones ahead as Commonwealth LNG progresses through construction.
