See Why in Tanzania there is the biggest increases in Demand for Natural gas

      

The aboundance of natural gas reserves in Tanzania  attracts many investors , contractors, equipment suppliers  and consultant firms to offer business opportunities  in Tanzania.  This  implies that, natural gas will continue  to play an increasingly important role in meeting demand for energy in Tanzania.

       There are many reasons for the long term expected  increase in demand for natural gas in Tanzania, which include the following.

1.Increase  in the number of  New homes

New homes increase day after day, family size increase as well, as these new homes built, the consumption of natural gas mounts, and the number of families use natural gas to cook and heat them also increase.Therefore increase of new homes using natural gas is expected drive demand for Natural gas in Tanzania.

2.Expansion of gas based power generation

The largest addition to gas demand in Tanzania where the most of expansion of power are taking place.  forexample the construction of kinyerezi 1 gas fired power plants, they will be supplied gas from Mtwara through Mtwara-Dar es Salaam pipeline, So more gas will be needed to meet the demand as the result of natural gas demand increases.

3. Technological Advancements – Currently, the majority of energy used by the commercial sector is in the form of electricity. Similarly, many common household appliances can only run on electricity. The advancement of natural gas technology in the form of offering natural gas powered applications that may compete with these electric operated appliances may provide a huge increase in demand for natural gas. Natural gas cooling, combined heat and power, and distributed generation are expected to make inroads into those applications that have traditionally been served solely by electricity.

Transportation

Natural gas use in transportation are almost negligible.Although natural gas powered vehicles are very useful for reducing environment pollution compered to fuel powered vehicles. The demand for alternative vehicles fuel vehicles (Including natural gas vehicles) will increase demand in natural gas. Although to accomplish this, technology is required.

MY FINAL WORDS

This general increasing of natural gas demand in Tanzania can be expected to the general growth of economy of Tanzania and improving living standard of residents.
