Qatar's Minister of State for Energy Affairs, Saad Al-Kaabi, said yesterday that emotional demands to cancel hydrocarbons are unrealistic. In a statement, he said: "The recent months have proven that the demands to cancel hydrocarbons are harmful to a realistic, accelerated transition." According to Reuters, Al-Kaabi said hydrocarbons "are not going to disappear any time in the near future." Therefore, cleaner forms of hydrocarbons were essential for a responsible transition. He added: "Natural gas is certainly the cleanest fossil fuel, and a much-needed reliable and economic solution to manage intermittency issues, when the sun is not shining, or when the wind is not blowing."
