In Brief
Big Tech and Wall Street are funding a major boom in natural gas under the label of clean energy transition funds. The surge in natural gas investments is driven by skyrocketing electricity demand from AI data centers. While private equity markets natural gas as a critical bridge fuel, climate scientists and analysts at IEEFA reject this argument. Researchers warn that uncontained methane leaks and long-term fossil lock-in undermine Paris Agreement targets ahead of COP31.
