Gate 2020 – Gas Advanced Technology for Europe 2020
This project will assess existing and emerging technologies for the supply
and utilization of natural gas in Europe. A research and development strategy
will be identified which, if implemented, could accelerate the trend of increasing
use of natural gas. Increased use of gas would result in reductions in emissions
of CO
2
; this project will assess the possible benefits of such a scenario to the
economy, the environment and industry. The technology areas that will be stu-
died include: gas production and processing, gas transportation, LNG (liquefied
natural gas), vehicles powered by natural gas, gas liquids and underground sto-
rage. Dissemination of the results of the research will encourage cooperation
among European companies and organizations to develop natural gas technolo-
gies and take part in industrial initiatives.
