Natural Gas ka Future India Mein: Kya Hai PNGRB ki Report?
India mein natural gas ki demand bahut tezi se badhne wali hai. Oil regulator PNGRB ke hisab se, yeh demand 2030 tak lagbhag 60% aur 2040 tak dugni ho jayegi. CNG cars aur cooking gas ki wajah se iska istemal bahut badhega.
Numbers Kya Kehte Hain?
2023-24 mein natural gas ka consumption 187 million standard cubic metres per day (mmscmd) tha. PNGRB ke ‘Good-to-Go’ scenario ke according, yeh 2030 tak 297 mmscmd ho jayega. Aur agar sab kuch sahi raha toh 2040 tak yeh aakda 496 mmscmd tak pahunch sakta hai.
Kahan Badhegi Demand?
CNG aur gharon mein cooking gas ki wajah se demand sabse zyada badhegi. ‘Good to Go’ scenario mein, 2030 tak 110 mmscmd ki incremental demand mein se 50 mmscmd city gas distribution se aayegi. 2030 se 2040 ke beech, 198 mmscmd ki demand mein se 129 mmscmd isi sector se hogi.
Sarkar ka Kya Plan Hai?
Hukumat chahti hai ki 2030 tak desh ki primary energy basket mein natural gas ka hissa 15% ho jaye, jo abhi 7% hai. Gas ko ek bridge fuel ki tarah dekha ja raha hai, jisse hum polluting fossil fuels se clean energy ki taraf badh sakte hain aur 2070 tak net zero emission ka target achieve kar sakte hain.
Kaun Hai Sabse Bada Consumer?
Filhaal, fertilizer sector sabse zyada gas consume karta hai. Lekin 2030 tak city gas distribution fertilizer ko bhi piche chhod dega. City gas sector 2023-24 mein lagbhag 37 mmscmd gas consume karta hai, jabki fertilizer sector 58 mmscmd. Power sector 25.2 mmscmd aur refineries 22 mmscmd consume karte hain.
Future Outlook Kya Hai?
Refineries aur petrochemical complexes mein bhi gas ka consumption tezi se badhega. LNG imports bhi badhenge, kyunki desh mein gas ki demand zyada hai aur production kam. LNG trucking diesel ko replace karne mein game changer sabit ho sakta hai.
LNG Imports ka Kya Scene Hai?
Regulatory body chief ka kehna hai ki India ke LNG imports 2030 tak dugne se bhi zyada ho sakte hain, kyunki demand badh rahi hai aur domestic production slow hai. Isliye, LNG par dependence badhegi.
