alternative energy sources come from renewable processes.

This review aims to provide a thorough guide to researchers, stakeholders, and policymakers to construct and support efficient, reliable, affordable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly energy systems utilizing the abundant inexpensive natural gas.Ī sustainable energy transition is defined as a shift toward a high-efficiency energy system that is well-managed to balance environmental and social costs, risks, and benefits such that the shift is deemed to be sustainable ( Chen et al., 2019). Policies that support the development of natural gas as a key alternative energy source in sustainable renewable energy transition would also be reviewed. This review highlights the technological pathways of utilizing natural gas in a transition to sustainable renewable energy systems, with a focus on the natural gas components and resources point of view for ASEAN member states (AMS). Natural gas makes the best fit for a sustainable renewable energy transition in any country around the globe due to its competitiveness towards other fossil fuels such as coal and its ability to aid the integration of renewables.

Natural gas, a naturally occurring fossil gas is a cleaner energy source option compared to other fossil fuels such as coal, bitumen, and diesel. While an immediate call for all-green and renewable energy seems to be impossible due to huge financial implications and inadequate supporting energy structure, an alternative to fossil fuels needs to be established.
