“…Given these potentially higher system costs, also driven by short-term fossil-fuel infrastructure needs [21], there is evident conflict with the long-term goals of decarbonisation and energy security, risking creating sizeable, stranded assets in the fossil-fuel sector-e.g., in LNG infrastructure, as much as half of which may be obsolete by the end of this decade [25]. Nonetheless, it would also entail the lowest gas price uptick in the near term among all 'corner' options, due to the relatively increased availability of gas, making it perhaps an attractive proposition from a political perspective as end-use heating costs for consumers might be lower; besides, along the transition by 2050, gas prices may affect not only heating costs for end users but also the overall evolution of the heating sector [69].…”
