The Gas Supply Industries and Utilities of the world is a market research report describing the gas industry and outlining the utility structure in every gas consuming or producing country. Consumption of gas is increasing and some governments have made the decision to promote its use in their energy mix, although the doubling in price in the last year means that it is no longer a cheap alternative.
The Gas Industries and Utilities of the World Report Ed 8 2006 contains an overview and a detailed description of the industry in every gas country, with statistics of production, consumption and trade movements. The report addresses new developments in the gas market, as other forms of gas gain market share.
Use of LNG is increasing rapidly as consuming countries seek to diversify their sources of supply for energy security, and to tap markets inaccessible by pipeline. The report provides details of production, consumption and trade in LNG. The accompanying GasStats, a new database published by ABS for the first time, provides information on LNG export liquifaction terminals and import re-gasification terminals.
Also covered are the growing markets for LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or Autogas, used domestically and to power vehicles, CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), also used to power vehicles in a number of countries and rapidly growing in popularity. CNG is gaining attention as a product from the large fields of stranded gas, gas which is located in fields which are difficult to exploit.
The report is accompanied by the Electrostats Database. For the first time ABS has drawn together basic data of the world gas markets from proprietary ABS sources and combined these with official statistics of Natural Gas, LNG and LPG to provide a statistical portrait of the gas sector in every country. ABS GasStats contains data from proprietary ABS databases compiled from original research, as well as data for natural gas, LNG, PLG from a variety of national and international official published sources. ABS GasStats contains 40 sets of data, 36 sets of snapshot data for the year 2005 and four historical series from 1965/1970/1980 to 2005 for the gas markets of 179 countries. The database also contains market statistics for the gas industry, numbers of gas customers, numbers of utilities by function, transmission and distribution pipeline lengths as well as operational and technichal industry statistics of Natural Gas, LNG and LPG, economic and population statistics adn statistical data for each country.
This package also contains the Gas Companies database which lists 2,977 gas utilities classified by function, with name, address, telephone and fax numbers where available.
