RasGas, setting the pace for the LNG industry globally, supplying more efficient and more environmentally friendly energy to the world and transforming the everyday lives of the people of Qatar. In March 2007, His Highness Sheikh Hamad Bin Khalifa Al Thani, the Emir of the State of Qatar, presided over a ceremony that marked a defining moment in Qatar's development as a gas producing and exporting nation. The inauguration of RasGas' fifth natural gas liquefaction train put Qatar in a position of undisputed leadership in world LNG. It took the nation's combined nameplate LNG production capacity to 30.7 million tonnes per annum (Mta). For a nation of fewer than a million people to dominate such a key and fast-growing part of the global natural gas industry is a remarkable achievement. At the turn of the 21st century, the term "liquefied natural gas" (LNG) was not even widely known. But today Qatar is bringing this very efficient fuel to homes and businesses around the world, from Asia to Europe and soon the United States.
