Global Natural Gas Report Ed 1, 2012
This new report provides an analysis of the global Natural Gas Market and its future development. Carbon reduction commitments and low gas prices have made natural gas more attractive as a fuel for power generation and transportation. Traditionally natural gas was flared as a waste product of the oil industry. Now natural gas is a viable alternative to coal as a cleaner fuel for power generation and a cheaper fuel than oil for transportation in some sectors. Furthermore, natural gas liquids (NGLs) are increasingly replacing products from oil in the production of petrochemicals, especially ethane for naphtha. This report provides; natural gas prices, supply and future directions for the market, potential of unconventional uses of natural gas and NGLs, coverage of the natural gas markets at the country-level, an in-depth analysis of the major independent and state-controlled natural gas players, plus much more including forms of natural gas for transportation and natural gas reserves.
