Merger creates Asian law firm for new gas age

摘要

The International Energy Agency's release of its World Energy Outlook Report 201 found that natural gas will increase to 25% of the global energy mix by 2035, and will overtake coal in the process.Not surprisingly, on the demand side, China will be critical to this, both in terms of growth and policy.China's 12th Five-Year Plan demonstrated a continued move towards lighter fuels. By the end of the plan gas will increase from less than 4% to more than 8% of the global energy mix. On the supply side, one of the keys to growth may well be unconventional gas, primarily in the form of coal seam and shale gas.
