Natural gas in Tennessee
- ed.
One of the goals of the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development's Energy Division is to provide the public with information necessary to make informed decisions about energy-related issues in Tennessee. This publication is a general reference guide to Tennessee's natural gas industry, and it profiles the role of natural gas in meeting Tennessee's energy needs. A directory of natural gas organizations and distributors is also provided for obtaining additional information about federal, state, and local issues concerning natural gas in Tennessee. Currently, Tennessee consumes four times the amount of energy that it produces and imports more than 70% of its total energy requirements. Natural gas accounted for 13% of the total energy Btu's consumed in the state in 1985. In order to satisfy the gas requirements of end-users, Tennessee must import 98% of its natural gas. Because of Tennessee's geographic proximity to major gas-producing areas in the southwest and Gulf of Mexico, an intricate network of interstate pipelines has evolved, providing Tennessee a comparative advantage in access to adequate natural gas reserves and low transportation costs. 6 figs., 5 tabs.
