The World LNG Market Report 2008-2012
Douglas-Westwood Reports
This new report examines the current and future prospects, technologies and markets for the 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. 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.

A major new report
This major new report by business analysts Douglas-Westwood 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.
