Liquefied natural gas

As of 2013, various Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) companies have applied to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to establish an LNG refinery and export center in Brownsville, Texas. Throughout the process, several citizens – as well as business entities and city councils, have voiced their opposition or support of the facility. Statement of the Problem Inadequate representation The FERC is responsible for providing public hearing meeting for each new facility application received, of which 10 different LNG companies applied to build a distribution center in Brownsville, TX. However, the FERC did not hold a meeting for each application, but rather grouped the sessions into three meetings spread across various locations. As a result,…

At SAIT a tailored program for corporate clients has been a primary selling point. Due to the fact that the earned revenue…

Methane gas has numerous uses in its natural gaseous form. It is one of the best fuel sources and due to its abundance it has promising benefits as compared to the oil gases whose prevalence is limited making them more expensive. However, a major hiccup exists in its storage and transportation since the most conveniently used form is its liquefied form. This issue has for limited the volumes transported for the long time since the liquid occupies much more space as it could in a powder form. In…

of Louisiana carrying America’s first liquefied natural gas (LNG) export to Brazil. Symbolically, the tanker marked a new era of energy production and trade and was a sign of the U.S.’s new position as an independent player in the Energy Sector. In many ways, this milestone was made possible by the decade-old shale boom that was pioneered and propelled by the energy visionary, Mr. Aubrey McClendon. Mr. McClendon died on March 2nd in a one-man car crash in Oklahoma City at 56 years old.…

not know what fossil fuels are they are formed by natural processes. They are hydrocarbons generally coal, fuel oil which come from dead organisms like plants and animals. These fuels became well recognized and in use following the 18th century’s industrial revolution. Since then we’ve seen the fossil fuels used more and more. Fossil fuels are classified as organic matter. The utilization of such fuels has allowed large scale industrial development and largely supplanted water driven mills.…

• Use of proper biodiesel blend in the engine approved by many automakers • Fuel economy and power of biofuel is less • Currently more costly • B100 is not use in low temperatures due to converting gel Natural Gas: natural gas like methane is cleanest burning alternative fuels. It can be used in the form of compressed natural gas (CNG) or liquefied natural gas (LNG). Application of CNG and LPG are automobile and cooking. Dedicated natural gas vehicles are designed to run on natural gas only,…

developing, resource-rich country found on the Eastern coast of Africa. Due to new and promising discoveries of natural gas sites along its coast, Mozambique has become the third largest proved natural gas reserves site in Africa, placing shortly after Nigeria and Algeria. Though the developing country only produces a relatively small volume of natural gas, around 154 billion cubic feet of natural gas as of 2012, it could become the world 's third largest exporter of liquefied natural gas within…
