Understanding Natural Gas and LNG Options
(developed by the US Department of Energy
Natural gas development and uses are important
components of a clean energy future and could enable public entities and private companies to
generate more power from abundant indigenous resources or from imported gas (in the form of LNG or
pipeline gas) – building deeper and broader gas markets for the benefit of all. This handbook focuses
on the factors that exporting or importing nations on the continent need to consider when making
decisions about natural gas development in general and more specifically the development of liquefied
natural gas (LNG) projects related to the export and import of LNG.
