Natural gas is poised to become an even more predominant fuel in the 21st century because the global economy is expanding and energy is a key driver in this economic success story. This is especially true across large parts of Asia and China where, in a relatively short time, millions of people joined the ranks of the middle class. This economic expansion is igniting unprecedented consumption of energy as people are improving their households, health, safety, and being empowered to realize their potential. More and more of that energy is slated to come from natural gas, because it is a low-emissions and versatile fuel capable of not only powering homes, but also utilities and transportation in the form of liquefied natural gas or compressed natural gas.
In a world characterized by increasing prosperity, growing energy use, and an expanding push to cut greenhouse gas emissions, natural gas will be one of the most important sources of energy to meet the needs of the future. Through a series of charts we show some of the economic and demographic trends that we expect to drive demand for natural gas over the next quarter century.
