The Use of Natural Gas for Power Generation is Predicted to Grow Over the Medium Term but May Be Tempered By Rising Gas Prices in Some Parts of the World

Posted on: Friday, 26 May 2006, 06:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c37665) has announced the addition of "The Future of Gas-Fired Power Generation: Growth Opportunities, Market Risk and Future Technologies" to their offering.

The use of natural gas for power generation is a recent phenomenon, emerging during the 1980s and 1990s; it is strongly linked with the development of stationary gas turbines for power generation, and particularly with the combined cycle gas turbine configuration. The latter became particularly attractive in the liberalized electricity markets which were developing at the same time in many parts of the world. The US and Japan were the first two countries to use gas extensively for power generation, the latter using LNG imports.

The use of natural gas for power generation is predicted to grow over the medium term but such predictions need to be tempered by the fact that the price of gas is beginning to rise dramatically in some parts of the world.

Key topics covered:

-- Introduction

-- The natural gas resource

-- The logistics of gas supply

-- The natural gas market

-- Gas-fired power generation technology

-- The economics of gas-fired power generation

-- The future of gas-fired power generation
