Growing
industry
-
natural
gas
demand
is
expected
to
continue
to
grow
at
a
pace
faster
than
coal
and
oil, and will be heavily weighted towards emerging economies, which is expected to drive demand for
Chart’s products.
Natural gas
expansion
-
U.S.
natural
gas
processing
is
expected
to
rise
due
to
the
production
of
unconventional gas.  World primary demand for natural gas expands on average by 1.5% per year with 
the
biggest
increases
in
the
Middle
East,
China
and
India.

Dramatic
increase
in
imported
LNG
in
China
has
already
begun
and
is
expected
to
accelerate,
with
China
aggressively investing in LNG infrastructure, including LNG transportation and storage equipment
China’s
twelfth
5-year
plan
(2011
-
2015)
mandates
an
increase
of
gas
as
a
percentage
of
energy
consumption
from less than 4% to over 8% (compared to over 20% for the U.S.)
Chart E&C is major supplier of key liquefier technology and components for domestic and imported production
China road transit authority expects to add 2 million new gas fueled vehicles, with 2/3 being LNG
Lack
of
pipeline
infrastructure
in
China
requires
“virtual

to
move
on

bill initiatives, which could significantly boost natural gas
vehicle adoption in U.S. and drive a multi-year build-out of
