Now, the tendency of replacing oil with natural gas is clearly visible in the world. This is due to a number of reasons: a steady increase in world oil prices, significant projected reserves of natural gas, and tightening of environmental requirements for power plants. The article discusses the world experience in the construction of floating thermal power plants using natural gas as fuel.
