New pipes needed for New York City gas conversions

摘要

Houston—New pipeline capacity is needed to accommodate the projected demand growth coming from oil to natural gas conversions during the next five years in New York City, Peter Carnavos, director of gas supply at Con Edison, said May 15. In a presentation at Bentek Energy’s Benposium conference in Houston, Carnavos said Con Edison is projecting gas demand to grow 3.5% over the next five years following new regulations aimed at phasing out city buildings’ use of the most pollutant grades of heating oil—No. 4 and No. 6.
