DUBLIN, Ireland (Research and Markets) Research and Markets
(www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8a03ea/global_natural_gas) has announced the addition of the "Global Natural Gas Industry" report to their offering.

Natural gas is a vital source of energy in most of the countries in the industrialized world. While the use of natural gas is not new however, it is only recently that methods for obtaining natural gas, bringing

it to the surface, and putting it to use were developed. Earlier, natural gas was mostly used as a source of light, as without a pipeline infrastructure, it was difficult to transport the gas very far, or into homes to be used for heating or cooking.

Aruvian Research's focus on the Global Natural Gas Industry explores this niche market globally and focuses on the happenings of this industry. Analyzing the global trends, the growth drivers, the strengths and weaknesses of this industry, industry statistics and forecast, trends in natural gas transportation and storage, import/export situation, etc. The report covers the complete developments in the natural gas industry.

Executive Summary:

Natural gas is a vital source of energy in most of the countries in the industrialized world. While the use of natural gas is not new however, it is only recently that methods for obtaining natural gas, bringing it to the surface, and putting it to use were developed. Earlier, natural gas was mostly used as a source of light, as without a pipeline infrastructure, it was difficult to transport the gas very far, or into homes to be used for heating or cooking.

Natural gas is a vital source of energy in most of the countries in the industrialized world. The use of natural gas is nothing new to us. In fact, most of the natural gas available to us today, is millions and millions of years old. However, it was not until recently that methods for obtaining natural gas, bringing it to the surface, and putting it to use were developed.

As we entered the 21st century, with continued population increases, economic growth and individual energy consumption, we are facing a unique and far-reaching challenge of energy crisis. Furthermore, emissions from various energy sources are contributing to climate change. This has led to the need for alternative energy technologies which are promising but will take some time for them to become cost-effective and widely available.

Natural gas, as a cleaner burning source of fossil fuel than oil or coal, is now commonly believed to offer part of the solution to climate change and problems associated with poor air quality. Once considered largely a waste product of oil production, natural gas is currently experiencing a huge increase in demand around the world. As a plentiful, economically viable and less polluting fuel, natural gas makes sense for developing economies looking for new sources of power.

Natural gas has come a long way from when it was largely a byproduct sent to the flare. As recently as 50 years ago, worldwide natural gas consumption was relatively insignificant. Today, however, natural gas meets more than 20% of the world's primary energy requirements.
