Editorial Reviews

Not quite an advertisement, though two of the nine papers are copyrighted by the Natural Gas Association. A very optimistic look at the potential use of natural gas in the energy sector, as feedstock for fertilizers, as a liquid fuel substitute in transportation, and as a fuel and feedstock for the chemical industry.
