About Energy For The 21st Century: Opportunities And
Product Description Countries around the world are increasingly looking to liquefied natural gas (LNG) - natural gas that has been cooled until it forms a transportable liquid - to meet growing energy demand. Energy for the 21st Century provides critical insights into the opportunities and challenges LNG faces, including its potential role in a carbon-constrained world. This comprehensive study covers topics such as the LNG value chain, the historical background and evolution of global LNG markets, trading and contracts, and an analysis of the various legal, policy, safety and environmental issues pertaining to this important fuel. Additionally, the author discusses emerging issues and technologies that may impact global LNG markets, such as the development of shale gas, the prospects of North American LNG exports, the potential role of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum and floating LNG. The author contextualizes the discussion about the importance of LNG with an analysis of why the 21st century will be the 'golden age' of natural gas. Accessible and non-technical in nature, this timely book will serve as an essential reference for practitioners, scholars and anyone else interested in 21st century energy solutions. Review The 12-chapter volume provides detailed discussions on the history, evolution, and current dynamics of the LNG industry, LNG supply and demand, globalization, safety, major players, the role of shale gas, emerging issues/concerns, and the future of LNG worldwide. The book is nontechnical, informative, and easy to read; a useful, suitable number of tables/figures support the text. It is a necessary, timely addition to any energy-related library, valuable for students and energy researchers and professionals as a comprehensive, up-to-date review of LNG. -- - M. Alam, Choice Professor Sakmar's book is a must-read for anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of the most dynamic segment of the global energy industry. -- - Jay Copan, Executive Director, LNG 17 Professor Sakmar's book provides a well-rounded overview of the global role that natural gas is expected to play in the future and the important role of LNG as a means of transporting gas to where it is needed. Readers will find the book to be a very convenient compendium of relevant global information and an important educational, informational resource. -- - Ronald D.
