Transcripción del abstract original del autor: The birth of the Philippine natural gas industry brings the country closer to its goal of harnessing environmentally sound fuels to ensure a stable, diverse and secure energy supply. However, the growth of this industry is anchored on the development of additional gas-generated capacity, other non-power applications and the necessary infrastructure that is to bring the natural gas to its potential markets. The infrastructure includes the appropriate pipeline transmission and distribution networks, LNG terminals and facilities, gas refilling stations for CNG-run vehicles and ancillary facilities. The stage for the industry’s development has been set with the preparation of a gas policy framework, industry rules and regulations and a pronouncement by no less than the Philippine President for the preferential generation of power using natural gas. With clear and concise policies, objectives, programs and strategies formulated by the DOE, together with the critical cooperation and participation of the private sector, a successful industry is ensured. While there is still much to be done, the DOE will be at the forefront of efforts to rally the participants in this new industry to success.
