Petronet begins work on Dahej terminal expansion, tenders Kochi plant project
David Hayes in Mumbai
Natural gas demand is expected to grow rapidly in India over the next decade as overall energy use surges to keep pace with accelerating economic growth.
Gas will form an important part of the nation’s primary energy mix as part of efforts to develop clean power generation and provide expanding industries with a clean energy solution.
In spite of recent discoveries, indigenous gas reserves are insufficient to meet total demand and LNG and piped gas imports will fill the supply gap.
India currently is planning to build several new LNG import terminals to expand its LNG import programme that by 2012 is expected to account for about 35 percent of total supplies.

Jamaica to get Trinidad's LNG from 2009
Linda Hutchinson-Jafar, Port of Spain, Trinidad
Jamaica, seeking to reduce dependency on fuel oil for the production of its electricity, plans to begin importing liquefied natural gas from Trinidad and Tobago by 2009.
The two Caribbean countries have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the supply of 1.1 million tones of LNG per annum over a 20-year period for use by the Jamaican aluminium company ( JAMALCO) and the Jamaica Public Service Company (JPSCo) power plants.
Trinidad and Tobago has committed itself to offering Jamaica a “kind of pricing arrangement that is mutually acceptable,” said Patrick Manning, the prime minister of the oil and gas producing country.
