In this paper, we discuss potential developments of the world natural gas industry at the horizon of 2030. We use the World Gas Model (WGM), a dynamic, strategic representation of world natural gas production, trade, and consumption between 2005 and 2030. We specify a “base case” which defines the business-as-usual assumptions based on forecasts of the world energy markets. We then analyze the ...

establishment of the gas exporting countries forum in tehran in 2001 has proved to be one of the most important changes in the gas market. gecf has a considerable share in the world liquefied natural gas (lng) trade. facts show that current routes of lng trade are not optimal. hence, in this paper we examine the development of cooperative strategies between countries exporting (lng) and members...

The selection of proper refrigerants for natural gas liquefaction processes play a key role in cycle?s efficiency. Mixed have been proven to improve exergy efficiency over single pure refrigerant. However, the future some these with higher global warming potential index are unknown due continuous restriction being enforced by energy and environmental agencies past few decades. This study examin...
