Natural Gas Prospects And Policies In Oecd Countries

This webpage is part of the archives of the usenet newsgroup Talk.Origins. It gives an overview of human evolution and refutes many creationist arguments about human evolution.

This publication contains data on gas supply and demand for OECD countries by region and individual countries, as well as a breakdown of gas consumption by end-user. It covers data on prices, storage capacity, liquefied natural gas (LNG) and pipeline trade, LNG terminals and ports, and gas reserves. It also gives data for over 100 non-OECD countries taken primarily from the IEA world energy database. This 2004 edition reviews developments during 2003 and assesses the investment outlook for the gas sector upto 2030 taken from the IEA's World Energy Outlook; as well as giving summary tables of world natural gas developments, with time series dating back to the early 1970's; historical time series of production and consumption by sector; and a series of maps showing the gas pipeline network and information on the regulation of gas transportation for each OECD country.

DOE/EIA-0484(2013). Presents an assessment by the Energy Information Administration of the outlook for internationalenergy markets through 2040. The "International Energy Outlook 2013" ("IEO2013") projects that world energy consumption will grow by 56 percent between 2010 and 2040. Total world energy use rises from 524 quadrillion British thermal units (Btu) in 2010 to 630 quadrillion Btu in 2020 and to 820 quadrillion Btu in 2040 (Figure 1). Much of the growth in energy consumption occurs in countries outside the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 2 known as non-OECD, where demand is driven by strong, long-term economic growth. Energy use in non-OECD countries increases by 90 percent; in OECD countries, the increase is 17 percent. The "IEO2013" Reference case does not incorporate prospective legislation or policies that might affect energy markets.
