Point Galeota: BPTT is forecasting that natural gas will be the fastest growing fossil fuel up to the year 2030 and the energy giant says the implications of this outlook are that there are long term opportunities for natural gas. It is good news for a natural gas producing country like Trinidad and Tobago.
