Hagevoort is General Commercial Manager at Nederlandse Gasunic. In an interview he talks about developments in the gas market. The scale-up of the Dutch cncr y distribution companies has created a shift of objectives. Where they use d to negotiate with Gasunie about gas prices and margins, since the eighties the energy distribution companies have been developing into a market party. Gasunie is reorganising, too ‘Within a few years we will change into a ‘lean machine”.

OPEC Review, Summer 1995, 19, (2), . Discusses how the demand for natural gas is likely to continue to increase significantly in the future, according to almost any scenario. Its enviroomental benefits have been the most powerful argument in favour of natural gas use, particularly in the developed countries of the Asia-Pacific region, where environmental regulations are becoming stricter every year. 95104635 Egyptlan gas for sale Buckman, D. Petroleum Review, Jul. 1995, 49, (582), 312-314. Israel, Jordan, Palestine, the Lebanon, Turkey and Italy all have at least one factor in common: they’re potential customers for Egyptian gas. Once under-used, this major resource is now set to become a valuable export commodity by the Grn of the century. It is a move which seemed hi&y improbable a few years ago. As recently as the mid-1970s little use was made of gas in Egypt. Yet now a national grid is spreading, based on greatly enhanced reserves. 95104636 Gas chief pane UK exporters Esau, I.

The case of the Greek energy market Caloghirou, Y. et al., Energy Policy, Mar. 1995, 23, (3)! 183-194. Theevolution of the price of natural gas (NG) is examined m industrial and tertiary residential sectors for European Union (EU) countries. The methodological approach is that of comparative analysis, NG price is seen to be. positively correlated to prices of liquid fuels. NG price in the tertiary residential sector is significantly higher than that for the industrial sector for all countries examined. An attempt is undertaken to examine tax policies for NG and liquid fuels. All governments of EU countries have the policy of not applying direct taxes-to the NG industrial price. They have also takenmeasures to support its penetration in the residential tertiary sector by applying lower taxes than those on liquid fuels. 95104644 The new advantages of cookln on natural as Genkin. D. GAZ d’aujourd’hui, Jun. 1995,119, (6y,279-282. (In $ reach) The fact that most French people prefer natural gas cooking appliances is regularly roven by opinion polls conducted amongst households. However, the ack of ‘stylish’ cooling appliances has been a serious problem over the past few years. Thanks to gas distributors and appliance manufacturers this hurdle has been cleared and the French can now boost a wide range of new and elegant products.

Under the ‘Utilisation of Alternative Gases’ project various uses of industrial residual gases have been elaborated. The gases concerned are residual ases having a certain energetic content (carbon monoxide, hydrogen and %ydrocarbons). Applications include power generation by advanced and conventional methods, injection into natural gas and conversion into synthesis natural gas and methanol. In principle all of these gases can be successfully applied by one of the presented methods.
