A Comprehensive Analysis of the Global Underground Natural Gas Storage Industry
The underground natural gas storage market is growing steadily. Factors such as the increasing consumption of natural gas across the end-user industries and rising underground natural gas storage facilities across the globe would boost the market size.
Besides, rapidly growing chemical, pulp
& paper, and food & beverage industries would increase the market
demand.
Citing the growing demand for
underground storage for natural gas, Market Research Future (MRFR) expects the
global underground natural gas storage market to expand at a 3.59% CAGR during
the forecast period (2023–2032).
Strong gas infrastructure helps
increase LNG and underground gas storage capacity. Extensive natural gas
infrastructures support domestic as well as national energy security.
Governments reform standards for
responsible energy development, focusing on environmental, social, and
governance (ESG). Well-developed certification standards aim to bring
transparency to an opaque market and drive demand for certified natural gas.
Improved standards also help operators
differentiate themselves through overall energy production. The price
volatility and the acute shortages of natural gas encourage governments to
increase natural gas storage facilities.

gas storage, transmission, and distribution company, announced a partnership
with EQT Corporation (EQT), a leading natural gas producer in the US, to bring
responsibly sourced gas (RSG) to its facility. Enbridge Gas will purchase
around 15 petajoules (PJ) of RSG from EQT from November 2022 to October 2023
and deliver and blend it into its distribution system.
Enbridge Gas aims for a sustainable
energy future and is committed to meeting strict industry-wide criteria for
quality. The addition of RSG would help escalate the current standards to
ensure sustainability across the value chain as well as minimize environmental
and community impacts.
