Resumen de Geostrategy Of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
The LNG industry was born in the second half of the last century in order to enable the transport of natural gas in its liquid form from the production centres to demand centres that are not accessible by gas pipeline. Developing this technology has meant that reserves from countries a long way from their markets (such as Qatar) are now able to be commercialized, it has also given access to this basic primary energy to countries that are not connected to gas pipelines (for example Japan, and formerly Spain). The growth rate of LNG more than doubles that of the rest of gas, and it is estimated that by 2050 its current quota of 10% of all gas marketed in the world will more than double. This fact will therefore consolidate its role in globalization of the energy market, and will contribute decisively to diversification and to the security of supply to many of the world�s regions.
