New Research Report on 'European Natural Gas Market' Is an All-Inclusive Coverage of the European Energy and Natural Gas Industry

Posted on: Tuesday, 12 February 2008, 12:00 CST

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c82551) has announced the addition of European Natural Gas Market to their offering.

Natural gas is often informally referred to as simply gas, especially when compared to other energy sources such as electricity. Before natural gas can be used as a fuel, it must undergo extensive processing to remove almost all materials other than methane. The by-products of that processing include ethane, propane, butanes, pentanes and higher molecular weight hydrocarbons, elemental sulfur, and sometimes helium and nitrogen. Europe is one of the leading producer as well as the leading consume of the natural gas. Almost as quarter of Europe's energy needs are fulfilled by natural gas. According to EU predictions, this share will grow further and dependence on natural gas imports will increase.

This research report on European Natural Gas Market is an all-inclusive coverage of the European energy and natural gas industry. The report covers the basics of the European energy market, including a historical background of the industry, production/consumption data, import/export scenario and an outlook of the energy industry. The report also covers the basics of the European natural gas industry, history of natural gas in Europe, statistics on production/consumption, reserve data, and a future outlook. Growth drivers, barriers and issues facing the industry, infrastructure of Europe's natural gas industry such as pipelines, natural gas fields, etc., are all focused upon in the research report. Regulatory framework driving the European natural gas industry such as the EU Gas Directive, market deregulation and the policy issues are important areas analyzed in European Natural Gas Market research report.

Also included in the report is a country-wise analysis of the natural gas industry in the UK, Germany, France, Norway, Russia, the Netherlands, and Poland. Major industry players such as ENI, E.ON, Centrica, RWE, Gazprom, etc., along with case studies of major natural gas projects in the continent are all profiled in the research report.
