European oil majors, including many with extensive U.S. operations, outperform their domestic peers in preparing for a low-carbon future as they shift to more natural gas production and invest in alternative energies, a new analysis has found.

U.S. exports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) will strengthen Europe’s bargaining position with Russia and help create a more diverse global gas market, but they won’t solve the current crisis in Ukraine or free Europe from Russian gas, and they are unlikely to cause the Kremlin to change its foreign policy, according to Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy.
