Advancing Natural Gas Use in Transportation
Nearly all heavy duty trucks in the Unites States run on diesel. However, with an abundant and cheap supply of natural gas from shale plays there is growing interest in replacing diesel fuel in heavy duty tucking, as we have discussed in our recent blogs and reports. LNG will likely be adopted at a regional level […]
Natural Gas Sourcing Strategies for LNG Export Projects
Thanks to the increase in shale gas production many LNG export projects have been announced, and a few have started construction, in the United States. During the third quarter of 2015, the first of these projects, Cheniere’s Sabine Pass terminal, will start exporting LNG around the world. Most attention has focused on these projects securing […]
Fueling Transportation with Natural Gas
Thanks to shale gas, natural gas production is outpacing demand and available cheaply. As a result people are looking for new ways to use natural gas. One way is to use natural gas as a transportation fuel for heavy-duty trucks and marine ships. The main driving force behind such applications would be a price difference […]
A Brief History of Natural Gas Demand
United States natural gas production has grown at a rate of 3.8% per year since 2008 from 55 Bcf/d to 66 Bcf/d in 2013. Shale gas production, however, has grown at a much faster pace. In 2008 production was less than 6 Bcf/d, but production grew at a rate of over 40% per year to […]
North American Natural Gas Boom Spreads to the Caribbean
