Total proven gas reserves amount to approx.180 trillion cubic meters worldwide,which translates Into a gas reserve-to-production ratio,I.e.a gas reserve lifetime of 70 years.Furthermore,a considerable portion of this reserve is wasted yearly:More than 80 billion cubic metres of natural gas and oil associated gas are flared for technical reasons or for lack of markets.This explains the main Incentive to commence with novel ideas for the utilisation of this gas.There is no doubt that natural gas will be the key feedstock In the 21st century.
