Demand for environmentally friendly natural gas as a fossil fuel will continue to increase over the long term. Because by replacing the liquid fossil fuels or diesel, gasoline and oil with natural gas the global carbon dioxide emissions would be reduced by about 25%. The development of new sources of natural gas, which is widening the gap in prices between oil- and gas-producing and importing countries, has increased international trade in natural gas, and gas transport and storage volumes are likewise growing. This is especially evident in the non-pipeline mode of gas transportation via LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) tankers.
