Each year the world generates more than 2.1 billion tons of waste, disposes of most of that waste it in landfills, and allows it to decay and release methane, carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds, odors, groundwater quality pollutants, and a host of other air, water, and soil pollutants. In developing nations, landfills can pose major public health concerns. Waste-to-energy technologies – incineration, gasification, plasma gasification, pyrolysis, and anaerobic digestion – provide a convenient solution to many of these waste management issues. Many countries around the world, including Iran, Pakistan and the UK are looking to build new waste-to-energy facilities.

Countries around the globe are reevaluating core nuclear power assets and their role in national energy portfolios as crisis builds at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear facility. China, for example, has announced plans to temporarily freeze approvals for new nuclear plants, while Germany and Switzerland have shut down multiple reactors and numerous other countries, including the U.S., have ordered comprehensive inspections and reviews of their nuclear infrastructure.

Experts at the market research firm SBI Energy anticipate greater investment in alternative baseload energy and fuel resources in light of the events in Japan. Ongoing recovery and loss of nuclear generation will heighten Japanese demand for energy resources that include natural gas and petroleum fuels.  Accompanying global energy market shifts draw attention to industry developments in liquefied natural gas, shale gas exploitation, coal power development and other energy infrastructure.

LNG prices are contract specific and are benchmarked against varying competing fuel prices in different regions of the world. In the aggregate, global average LNG prices are expected to recover steadily from their 2009 lows of $8.80 per million Btu, to about $15 per MBtu in 2015 as natural gas and LNG demand grow in a post-recessionary global environment and prices for competing fuels rise. While the projected growth in LNG prices may appear aggressive, it is important to note that at $15 per MBtu in 2015 LNG would be priced at relatively the same levels as those established in 2008.
