'Natural Gas and LNG Storage Market Set to Reach $18.57bn in 2011' Says Visiongain Report

LONDON, June 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

http://www.visiongain.com/Report/635/The-Natural-Gas-and-LNG-Storage-Market-2011-2021

Visiongain's latest energy report The Natural Gas and LNG Storage Market 2011-2021 details the development of the major natural gas and LNG storage markets around the world. The global market for which, visiongain has calculated to be worth $18.57bn in 2011.

The growing global demand for natural gas due to its clean-burning environmental attributes and comparative low cost is driving demand for gas and LNG storage facilities around the world. As gas contributes more significantly to the global primary energy supply, new gas storage facilities will be required to ensure a secure and consistent natural gas supply to growing economies.

Emerging gas storage markets and current major markets are all anticipated to see positive growth over the coming ten years. Import dependent regions and regions with high summer-winter temperature variations will experience the most significant developments.

Both large capacity facilities required for seasonal gas stockpiling and smaller fast-cycling facilities for short-term trading will see growth as storage companies and energy utilities look to optimise their portfolios.

This report includes;

• quantified forecasts for the global gas and LNG storage market and its sub-markets
• quantified regional gas and LNG storage  including the major national markets of each region
• a study of the global and regional drivers and restraints in the natural gas and LNG market
• a SWOT analysis of the natural gas and LNG market
• two original interviews with experts working in the gas storage industry
• E.ON Gas Storage GmbH; a major player on the European gas storage market.
• Peregrine Midstream Partners, LLC; an innovative US based gas storage company.

This compilation of valuable information and market data creates a truly unique report only available from Visiongain.
