Summary

This major new report by business analysts Douglas-Westwood examines the current and future prospects, technologies and markets for the LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) & GTL (Gas to Liquids) sectors.

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 26% 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. Our analysis of the GTL market includes the market drivers, technologies, and prospects.

Technology Review

The World LNG & GTL Report provides a comprehensive and fully illustrated review of LNG liquefaction technologies employed in both existing and future plants, along with an explanation of the main LNG tanker containment systems. The methods used in the reception and regasification of LNG are fully explained, along with the safety and regulatory issues.

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 2011.
