Analysis shows that, using a five percent real discount rate, the value of overall economic benefits if unconventional gas succeeds rather than fails is 175.47 billion dollars (constant 1982 dollars). The benefits specifically attribute to GRI's activities at existing funding comprise 34.26 billion dollars of the total. Under the assumptions of the study, the magnitude of the economic benefits from GRI's unconventional gas R D are hundreds of times GRI's annual R D expenditures.
