Globally, electricity generation has more than doubled since 1990,2 and it could grow by more than 50 percent over the next two decades.3 In the United States, gas turbine facilities powered by natural gas generate about one-third of the electrical power used by the electrical grid.4 Both the total amount of electrical power generated by natural gas and the percentage of the U.S. demand for electrical power that is met by natural gas are projected to increase through at least 2050.5 The global demand for oil and gas could increase by 20 percent over the next 20 years, with China accounting for one-third of the growth.6 However, this growth is expected to plateau after 20357 or see a contraction, depending on energy policies regarding emissions and the use of renewable energy that are implemented internationally because of concerns about climate change, air quality, and overall sustainability.8 Research and development (R&D)
