　　In today's report, Dr. Hooman Peimani mainly introduced LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) has experienced a “golden age” thanks to a growing global demand for gas. The Asia-Pacific region, in particular, has accounted for the bulk of this demand (around 70%). The ongoing shift in this region’s pattern of energy consumption and the increasing availability of piped gas will likely end LNG’s “golden age”, added to a declining consumption trend in some other regions. Despite predictable fluctuations in LNG demand, the resulting trend of lowering demand as production capacity is increasing will ensure abundance of supplies and keep LNG prices relatively low in the foreseeable future.After the report, Dr. Hooman Peimani took the picture with teachers and students at CEEP together.
