Lebanon is in the process of converting its power generating plants from Oil to Natural Gas. To help meet this demand, a 26-mile natural gas Pipeline, called GASYLE 1, that links the Baniyas plant in Syria to the Deir al-Ammar-Beddawi power plant in northern Lebanon was completed in March 2005. GASYLE 1 will allow Syrian natural gas from the Syrian Petroleum Company to flow into Lebanon for the first time providing some 53 million cubic feet per day. Syrian officials have said that this amount could eventually double to 105 million cubic feet per day.
