Natural Gas

Additional Details

Natural gas is the cleanest of all the fossil fuels. B&G Group generates ecotricity from Natural Gas.

Discoveries to the tune of 700 bcm in the last decade meant that gas reserves hold promise in India. The potential for Coal Bed Methane appears to be promising & will probably exceed the free natural gas reserves. While in the near term, potential for LNG may be limited due to inability of key sectors such as power to absorb high international prices, in the longer term there would be place for LNG as the share of Natural Gas in India’s energy mix increases. On the demand side, an emerging area is auto-CNG & piped gas which have together accounted for about 7% of the total gas demand in the last five years. In the next few years, at least 30 cities have been identified for city wide gas coverage by private and public sector players. The draft gas pipeline policy gives support to the development of a natural gas grid meant to create a common gas market across the country.
