Analysis of existing and potential environmental regulatory initiatives and their impact on the domestic natural gas industry. Topical report, July 1992-February 1994
The report identifies and evaluates the costs of compliance associated with current and potential environmental requirements facing the domestic natural gas industry. It also investigates the market for environmental technologies and current technology transfer. The primary findings of this report include: Future environmental compliance requirements on the domestic natural gas industry must be assessed within the overall context of the domestic gas market; The outcome of future regulatory initiatives is highly uncertain; The future costs of environmental compliance incurred by the domestic gas industry could be significant; Air pollution control requirements are likely to impose the greatest incremental cost burden on the domestic gas industry; The methodology developed can be easily adapted to estimate the benefits of the Gas Research Institute (GRI) environmental R D; GRI can be proactive to improve the development and transfer of environmental compliance technologies; GRI can make regulators a target of technology transfer efforts on technical capabilities an environmental risks.
