The next decade will be crucial for Asian gas markets and determine
whether natural gas will become a major fuel in the key energy
markets of China, India, Japan and Korea, or will remain a
"promising" but peripheral energy source. Natural Gas in Asia is a
new edition of a 2002 study on the future of natural gas in the
major energy markets of Asia. The 2nd edition has been
substantially rewritten and completely updated, and contains two
new chapters on South East Asia, Australia, and the Middle East.
The future energy needs and environmental problems of China, India
and the rest of Asia are considerable. A major question is whether
gas supplies can and will respond to expanding demand for the
cleanest fossil fuel? Large scale projects will need to be
implemented in Russia, the Central Asian Republics and the Middle
East to bring required supplies to Asian markets in the years to
2020. This book assesses the economic opportunities, political
obstacles and other challenges--both domestic and international--to
these projects. In order to succeed, pipeline infrastructure will
need to be built over long distances to bring gas to these markets,
as well as significant numbers of new LNG terminals.
The volume discusses the major current and potential gas markets
in Asia: China, India, Japan and Korea, as well as the potential
supply of pipeline gas and LNG to Asia from: Russia, Central Asia,
South East Asia, Australia and Middle Eastern countries. An
important aspect of the next two decades will be the extent to
which the region can develop pipeline gas sources to supplement
existing large scale LNG imports. The volume also looks at the
substantial gas markets emerging in China andIndia which are at the
early stage of introducing large scale natural gas use in cities.
These markets face the commercial challenge of developing gas-fired
power generation at a cost which may be greater than generation
based on domestically produced coal. However, considerations of
local air quality and global emissions may give extra value to gas
fired generation, as has happened elsewhere in the world.
