The ‘Age of Gas’ Is Coming, GE Report Says

摘要

As an outgrowth of the North American shale revolution, natural gas increasingly will capture a bigger piece of global energy demand with a denser network offering greater flexibility and improved economics, according to a white paper released Friday by General Electric Corp. (GE). Gas will transform from a mostly regional, marginal energy source to a focal point of global energy supply, said Peter Evans and Michael Farina, co-authors of the GE-backed report, “The Age of Gas & The Power of Networks.” Large-scale multi-billion-dollar pipeline and liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects will anchor the gas network.
