Culture and the unwritten laws of life below deck.
We get acquainted with the crew of a gas carrier. From the captain to the unranked personnel, we delve into the routines, hierarchical relationships, and also the risks and internal divisions that govern the lives of people who make it possible to transport LNG by sea.

Means of transportation or sociotechnical systems? The unique characteristics of gas carriers.
In this episode we leave the mainland and board gas carriers, one of the main carriers for the transport of liquid natural gas by sea. We learn how the race for energy supremacy enabled the evolution of these ships, but also how this technological advancement has shaped social dynamics and relationships in the supply chain over time.

From natural gas to LNG. The chemical transformations that make transportation and use possible.
The delicate chemical balance of gas is maintained through a series of steps: purification, liquefaction, and finally regasification. Let's explore together how these transformations affect feedstock quality and price, infrastructure, and their environmental and social impacts.

Gas as a product of the earth - negotiations with local people.
Our journey continues by analyzing the significance of land use for those who inhabit the extraction territories. Amid sacred places, health hazards, and internal conflicts to win the profits that come from extraction rights, we will explore how communities come into conflict, often in an unequal struggle, with energy giants.

The liquid natural gas supply chain is a journey in which technological advancement and human factors, such as hierarchies and societies, intertwine complex relationships to create a unique socio-technical system.
We will discover how it works through the field experience of Marianna Betti, Social Anthropologist at the University of Bergen.
