Abstract
Forecasts of supply/demand for conventional uses of natural gas through the year 2010 were made as well as an assessment of the potential of several alternative fuel systems and competitive fuels. Three scenarios were established that addressed probable environments for the gas supply/demand through 2010. In all cases, the bulk of natural gas used in U.S. will still be produced in the lower 48 States. Significant results of the evaluation include: Gas will be available and reliable through 2010. By 2010, 25% of gas produced could come from nonconventional sources. Gas-fired cooling, cogeneration, and fuel cells may make an impact on gas demand by 2010. CNG vehicles are economically viable but will have limited impact on demand unless much stricter legislation is passed.
