16 pages, Natural gas is rapidly gaining in geopolitical
importance. Gas has grown from a marginal fuel consumed in
regionally disconnected markets to a fuel that is transported
across great distances for consumption in many different economic
sectors. Increasingly, natural gas is the fuel of choice for
consumers seeking its relatively low environmental impact,
especially for electric power generation. As a result, world gas
consumption is projected to more than double over the next three
decades, surpassing coal as the world’s number two energy source
and potentially overtaking oil’s share in many large industrialized
economies.
