Methane clathrate

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 addition, this transportation method poses great risks since the gas is highly flammable. It is this necessity that facilitated numerous researches into possible solutions which eventually led to the revelation that methane gas could easily be transported…

For instance, the fracking process causes earthquakes. Regions that have not experienced fault movements in million of years are now unstable. Earthquakes cause disastrous damage, and leave communities rebuilding for years to come. Additionally, the release of methane gas during fracking leads to climate change and global warming. I believe that global warming is not a hoax, and our world is dying because of it. The Great Barrier Reef, a place I have always wanted to see, will most likely die…

Proposal Methane hydrate formation by using coffee waste April, 2015 Wenxi Huang Florida International University Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Advisor: Dr. Rudolf Jaffé 1. Introduction Natural gas hydrate (NGH) has been considered as a possible alternative for transporting natural gas because of its lower capital cost when comparing with liquefied natural gas (Javanmardi, et al., 2005). Methane is the main component in natural gas (Engineering Data Book, 2004).…

Inefficient fertilisation (involving nitrogen) can lead to unwanted N₂O emissions. Simply fertilising crops with the precise amount of nitrogen can reduce such harmful gas emissions. While small changes may not seem like they can solve the problem of global warming, it is important to be aware of the fact that small changes have also caused global warming. For example, cows, which release between 70 and 120 kg of methane per year are very dangerous to the climate as the negative effect on the…

Climate Change; Explained By NASA Some people think “climate change” is a fancy word invented to cover up “global warming.” Global warming sounds so scary, but climate change sounds like something we can help combat or something less scary than the thought of our planet burning up because of a hole in the ozone layer. It’s remarkable how word-choice can have such a big impact on our ideas and feelings towards things. It’s also interesting to see politically how people react to each set of…

How mankind is razing the beauty of nature down with its action! What has become the world we have been living on for thousands of years? It started with dinosaurs and a meteor end it. Then a new beginning raise, mankind was born. The right terminology to define humans is that they come from the ape’s branch but what set them apart is their complex brain which function as a gun with unlimited power to imagination and creation. They have abuse that power thru so many decades that nowadays is…

Planning Device for 5-pargraph Argument Essay Write out the prompt: In your introduction, briefly summarize Rees 's essay (the nature of the ecological crisis and primary solution as he states it) and establish how concerned you are by sharing the result of your eco-footprint test and reading his essay. Your thesis is to argue that you can (OR CANNOT) make a difference on the personal, national, and global level and explain three solutions as examples - these must be new to you. You cannot…

as well as oxygen to produce electricity, heat and water. While on the other hand fossil fuel are the products fossils that are really old. For instance the animal and plant fossils but however, the three main sources of fuel are coal, natural gas and oil/petroleum. (Altenergy.org, 2014) As it is known, there are many different types of fuel cells but however, they work slightly different in a way. Hydrogen atom goes into a fuel cell at the anode which is a positive electrical charge and oxygen…

gas we as human beings need to start focusing our efforts to reduce and prevent global warming in our everyday routines. We have to leave a smaller carbon footprint or face the cold truth that the human race can and will go extinct in order for the earth to recover, its part of the planets way of sustaining itself. Scientists believe that greenhouse gases emitted by the human population cause global warming. Greenhouse gases come from a variety of sources such as the exhaust of automobiles, and…

on which they live. Recycling generates fewer greenhouse gases, reduces the amount of waste in landfills, and conserves natural resources. Recycling reduces the amount of greenhouse gases, and thus preserves the environment because of the reduction in gas emissions. The problem with the releasing of greenhouse gases are that life could become unsustainable if the surface temperature of earth became too high. Because these gases become trapped in our atmosphere, heat is also trapped on the…
