The International Gas Union, the global voice for the natural gas industry, has issued a new report outlining the essential role of natural gas in global energy policy. The findings have significant implications for India, and its desire to tackle growing air quality issues in a sustainable and economical manner while meeting its commitments towards climate change. Titled ´Global Gas Markets supporting Growth and Sustainability´, and set to be discussed at the fifth IEF-IGU Ministerial Gas Forum meeting to be held in New Delhi on 6 December, this latest report builds on recent initiatives from the IGU examining a variety of issues including air quality. It follows a study published in November into the positive benefits on urban air following a switch from coal to natural gas, across four major European cities. As the cleanest burning fossil fuel, natural gas is well postioned to play a growing role at the forefront of India´s future energy mix, and the global energy mix. When used in place of higher-emitting coal and oil, gas can help reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, improve air quality, and offer access to clean and affordable energy in both the developed and developing world. According to the IEA, gas is the only fossil fuel set to increase its share in the primary energy mix by 2040, even under the 2C scenario.
