Abstract
In Japan, the greater part of imported natural gas is consumed in the power industry and the gas industry. For efficiently utilizing the energy generated from natural gas combustion, new systems based on repowering or co-generation, such as combined cycle power generation, gas co-generation, gas air conditioning, power generation by refuse incineration, have been developed in these industries.Recently it has become very important to develop abundant small gas fields and to recover flared natural gas. The technologies, by which natural gas is chemically converted to liquid materials, such as methanol, dimethyl ether and GTL, are being watched with keen interest because these liquids are easier to transport than natural gas.In future, it will be expected to develop new technologies for converting natural gas to useful raw materials in chemical industries.
