Environmental friendly natural gas technologies

Objective

The network will:
- Establish a State of the Art analysis of scientific and technological subjects dealing with the overall gas chain. This analysis will:
1) position natural gas on the world energy scene,
2) look at the different S&T initiatives that might be underway in different Member States and
3) position the European Supply Industries on the world market vis à vis the US and Asian competition.

- Produce a Vision Master-Plan to devise a co-ordinated strategy for future research activities and/or deployment of existing technologies, regarding but not limited to:
1) exploration performance, re-injection, long term CO2 sequestration, methane storage,
2) dehydration, de-acidification, gas contaminants removal,
3) gas conversion (LNG, GTL, power generation and chemical conversion ),
4) pipelines, non conventional transportation (hydrates, CNG),
5) underground storage, gas utilisation.
