Global warming mitigation proponents have come up with new research that says that methane, the chief component in natural gas, is responsible for 25% of global warming to date. 8At least 202 LNG terminal projects are in development worldwide, including 116 export terminals and 86 import terminals. Total outlay is a massive $1.3 trillion 8They reportedly present a threat as large as coal-based power projects, new research seems to point out 8Despite its price tag ($1.3 trillion) and its role in the climate crisis, the expansion of LNG infrastructure has received relatively little scrutiny in terms of stranded asset risk. 8But attention to stranded asset issues is rising due to increased cost pressure on natural gas by renewable alternatives.

8Gas-based power plants are best suited for operation during peak hours due to their quick start-up and ramp-up/down characteristics. 8In fiscal 2019, peak power demand at the all-India level increased 8% on-year to 177 GW from 164 GW in 2018. This, coupled with rising renewable penetration– which is an infirm source of energy with wide fluctuations in generation –necessitates grid balancing through operationalisation of peaker plants like gas or hydro. 8Currently, discoms are meeting most of their peak power requirement through bidding-based short-term contracts, with discovered tariffs of Rs 5-6 per unit. Gas-based power from the stranded plants can be a better way of meeting peak demand for some of these discoms. 8Environmental concerns over higher dependence on coal-based power which is more polluting can be partly addressed through increased utilization of relatively clean gas-based power Click on Reports for moreDetails
