Low gas prices open the door to renewed industrial competitiveness

摘要

Low natural gas prices have created an opportunity for North America to develop a "road map" for an industrial development strategy based on natural gas, says one of the most respected observers of natural gas markets and trends. Bill Gwozd, vice-president of gas services for Calgary-based Ziff Energy Group, which provides consulting and other services largely aimed at the gas industry, says policies aimed at boosting Alberta's gas-based petrochemical industry should only be the beginning of a broad strategy to allow the continent to build on its competitive advantage of abundant, cheap gas supplies.
