in the ground. 5. Natural gas requires highly complex treatment plants and pipelines for its delivery. 6. Natural gas occupies four times the space of a gasoline-equivalent energy.
Oil-fired heating systems generate heat in a furnace or boiler. Oil systems are less popular than those using gas because they have a higher initial cost and limited size availability. They also require a storage tank, oil deliveries, payment in advance for fuel to be used later, and more maintenance. For instance, most manufacturers recommend replacing the burner nozzle each year and cleaning the oil filter monthly. However, when the price of oil is low relative to the price of other fuels, oil systems are sometimes preferred for their lower operating cost. Some like oil systems because oil is less flammable than gas. Today, research on natural gas markets is as relevant as ever due to a convergence of factors. Natural gas has a multitude of industrial uses, including providing the base ingredients for such varied products as plastic, fertilizer, anti-freeze, and fabrics. In fact, industry is the largest consumer of natural gas, accounting for 43 percent of natural gas use across all sectors. Natural gas is the second most used energy source in industry, trailing only electricity. Natural gas is consumed primarily in the pulp and paper, metals, chemicals, petroleum refining, stone, clay and glass, plastic, and food processing industries. These businesses account for over 84 percent of all industrial natural gas use. Industrial applications for natural gas are many. Industrial applications include those same uses found in residential and commercial settings heating, cooling, and cooking. Natural gas may also be used as a feedstock for the manufacturing of a number of chemicals and products.
Gases such as butane, ethane, and propane may be extracted from natural gas to be used as a feedstock for such products as fertilizers and pharmaceutical products.

B. Industrial Co-firing
Natural gas co-firing technologies are also helping to increase industrial energy efficiency, and reduce harmful atmospheric emissions. Co-firing is the process in which natural gas is used as a supplemental fuel in the combustion of other fuels, such as coal, wood, and biomass energy. For example, a traditional industrial wood boiler would simply burn wood to generate energy. However, in this type of boiler, a significant amount of energy is lost, and harmful emissions are very high. Adding
natural gas to the combustion mix can have a two-fold effect. Natural gas emits fewer harmful substances into the air than a fuel such as wood. Since the energy needed to power the natural gas boiler remains constant, adding natural gas to the combustion mix can reduce harmful emissions. In addition, the operational performance of the boiler, including its energy efficiency, can be improved by supplementing with natural gas. For instance, in wood fueled boilers, adding natural gas can compensate for the use of low grade, wet wood, allowing it to combust more quickly and completely. This type of co-firing can also be used in the generation of electricity, whether on-site or in a centralized power plant.
C. NG as a Fuel Cell
Many scientists are interested in using natural gas to generate electricity without combustion using a fuel cell. A fuel cell is similar to a battery. It uses a chemical process rather than combustion to convert the energy content of a fuel into electricity
D. Biomass
Today, we can drill shallow wells into landfills to recover the methane gas. Landfills are already required to collect methane gas as a safety measure. Typically, landfills collect the gas and burn it to get rid of it. But the gas can be put to work. Last year, over four billion cubic feet of landfill methane gas was used for heating and electricity production. There are other ways to convert biomass into natural gas. One method converts aquatic plants, such as sea kelp, into methane gas. In the future, huge kelp farms could also produce renewable gas energy

Our current research on natural gas is focused on Asia and particularly on China, where even a modest increase in natural gas usage at the expense of coal would have massive benefits for climate change mitigation. Natural gas makes up only about 4% of China's energy supply at present, but any finding of substantial unconventional gas resources in the country would immediately align domestic gas development with both energy security and air quality goals. As it is, the government is already moving aggressively to increase gas supply through construction of LNG terminals and pipelines from Central Asia. As we have seen in the case of coal, idiosyncratic pricing structures and forms of industrial organization in the Chinese gas sector are causing significant distortions in the market, and new models are increasingly being sought by the government. More generally, China faces a policy challenge common to many countries desiring to expand their gas markets: how to encourage domestic utilization of gas through attractive pricing for consumers without deterring investment in domestic gas resources or making imports non-competitive.
3.8. New research on Chinese gas markets centers around three main questions.
1. First, how will Chinese price reforms shape patterns of gas use and use of competing fuels? 2. Second, how does the political economy of the Chinese gas industry influence market outcomes? 3. What is likely to be the industrial structure of an emerging unconventional gas industry?
A proliferation of new gas supplies in China, including imported ones, has put extreme pressure on the country's cost-plus pricing model, leading to speculation that China will try to shift over time to pricing that is more closely connected to what end users are willing to pay for gas.

This work will involve comparative study of shale gas and coal bed methane (CBM) development in China, the US, and possibly other regions with significant unconventional resources. One of our broad hypotheses is that the different investment profile of unconventional gas, which requires continuous new drilling to keep the gas flowing, might lead the industry to develop a characteristically different industrial structure from conventional hydrocarbon development. The US is an important case as the only country that has developed unconventional gas resources on a large scale thus far, while China merits study as the country for which significant development of unconventional gas would arguably have the most significant impact on global climate policy and energy markets.
Main business objectives of the company are as under :a. To provide clean, environment friendly green fuel as an alternative to the conventional auto fuels like Petrol and Diesel and b. To provide safe, convenient and reliable piped natural gas to its customers in the domestic, commercial and industrial sectors.

Industrial Marketing
In industrial purchasing it is typical that more than one person is
involved in buying decisions with the number and rank of people involved increasing according to the value or strategic importance of the purchase. 2. In marketing literature this is termed a "buying group" and the effect on marketing people is that the individuals you target to influence purchasing decisions may not be the people actually making the purchase.
3. 4.
Often even in small value purchases another person will authorized expenditure, perhaps sign purchase requisitions, purchase orders or cheques.
Mass Advertising Normally focused on technical media. Not Specialist exhibitions and Trade shows often used for high and Distributors, Commissioned Agent often used. In industry personal relationship building must be used As there is a much smaller group of possible buyers in industry
normally TV.
