Shale gas growth 'may hit regional LNG market'
Investment in the development of shale gas, a natural gas recovered through
a careful procedure involving horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing
in the US and Europe could hit Middle East gas markets, said an expert. "Over the last several years, technologies for extracting unconventional
natural gas from shale formations have been implemented with greater
precisions resulting in lower costs," said Colin Chapman, president of
Euro-Petroleum Consultants' (EPC), a leading independent consultancy for
downstream oil, gas and petrochemicals industries. "So much so that costs for these types of gas projects have been in some
cases lower than those of more conventional projects," Chapman pointed out
in the EPC analysis of the growing role of shale gas production in Europe,
North America and Asia. Offering fresh insights into the future of global gas market, Chapman said,
'In Europe, shale and other unconventional gas resources have been
identified in France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania,
Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.' http://www.tradearabia.com/news/CM_190009.html

Camden has become the first council in the UK to launch a fleet of vehicles powered entirely by renewable energy
The 15-strong fleet operates on compressed biomethane gas, which reduces
both CO2 and nitrogen dioxide emissions by 60%, when compared to fossil
fuels. The gas was produced from organic waste manufactured from a landfill site in
Surrey. The vans will be supported by a newly upgraded refuelling station at Camden
Transport Service, in King's Cross. Camden is also launching London's first free electric charging point for
commercial vehicles, which generates some of its energy from the refuelling
station's solar panels. Camden Council's cabinet member for sustainability, councillor Angela Mason,
said: "I am delighted to launch this innovative fleet. "It is incredible to think that just one tonne of this special fuel can
power a 44-tonne heavy goods vehicle for an entire week. ]
