Abstract

The development of liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure that allows natural gas to be exported from gas producing regions to gas consuming regions is transforming previously regional gas markets into a global market. The panel will address the impacts of this globalization on the power generation industry that has been increasingly turning to natural gas fueled plants. Panelists from major gas producing and gas consuming regions will discuss topics such as supply, demand, infrastructure, price impacts and the possible responses of the power industry.
