This major new report examines the current and future prospects, technologies and markets for the LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) sector.
Gas currently accounts for nearly a quarter of all energy consumption, and the IEA have forecast that gas demand will grow at a faster rate than oil over the first quarter of this century, accounting for 24% of worldwide energy use by 2030. With many regions facing future gas shortages, LNG offers an increasingly important method of bringing gas from remote reserves to the market.
The report is unique in providing a complete overview of the whole LNG process chain, encompassing liquefaction plants, tankers, and import and regasification terminals.
In common with other reports of Douglas-Westwood's acclaimed series, The World LNG Market Report will be useful for executive readers. The report does not assume a detailed technical knowledge of the subject.
Market prospects
The report identifies by region and thoroughly discusses on a country-by-country basis the current and future prospects for the LNG plants, carriers, and terminals over the period to 2012.
Using the same in-depth modelling process that is adopted for other reports in this series, The World LNG Market Report presents a five-year market forecast for activity in the sector over 2008-2012.
It includes a series of charts and tables (with five years of historic data) showing the market expenditures in US dollar values over the period, segmented by facility type and region.
