Asian demand to benefit Australia gas exports – govt report

Australia’s long-term gas exports were expected to benefit from the growing demand of emerging economies in the Asian region, the Office of the Chief Economist reported on Friday.

In the ‘Gas Market Report 2015’, the Department of Industry, Innovation and Science noted that despite current challenges, which included downward pressure on commodity prices, the fundamentals remained strong for the gas sector, as global gas demand was set to increase by around 50% to 2040.
