Natural gas

• 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, while bi-fuel vehicles can also run on gasoline or diesel. Advantage: Bi-fuel vehicles allow users to the wide-spread availability of gasoline or diesel but use a cleaner, more economical alternative when natural gas is available. Drawback: Since natural…

past there was no knowledge of what natural gas is, it was a mystery to man. Occasionally, gas would escaping from under the earth’s crust and when a lightning strike reached the gas, it would ignite the natural gas, creating a fire (Natural Gas.org). This was puzzling to early civilizations, which lead to myths and superstitions (Natural Gas.org). In ancient Greece on Mount Parnassus around 1000 B.C., a goat herdsman stumbled across a “burning spring” rising from a fissure in a rock (NG.org).…

1. Cost Analysis The production of hydrogen from fossil fuels is said to be a mature technology. Of the two main fossils fuels used, natural gas offers the best economics and efficiencies and is the main pathway used to generate hydrogen nowadays, mainly for the production of ammonia and methanol. The other, being coal, can also be used to produce hydrogen but the initial investment is much greater and the efficiency is lower compared to when natural gas is used. Coal can be economically…

Original 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…

I chose this article because I had the chance to read on all the resources from the same article. I also felt like it was easier for me to understand and compare. There are several different impacts of natural gas. The combustion from natural gas is lesser than coal and oil. Natural gas has a lower life cycle than coal and oil. It can be burned and used as energy for power plants. Natural gas does contribute to air pollution, but it is produces lower rates than gasoline for vehicles. Health…

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…

The role that natural gas fracking will play in the United States' energy future is quickly evolving. By the process of Hydraulic fracturing obtaining natural oils and gas. This process has significant impact for the country’s economy. However, the process of hydraulic fracturing has a negative impact on the environment due to the waste water injection into the fracking wells. The history of the process of fracking has evolved from the start due to the advancing of technology. The United States…

Natural Gas Pricing Outlook Supply and demand, technological breakthroughs, severe weather, prices, law & regulation, demographic changes, geopolitical conflicts and disputes are some of the multitude of variables that changes year on year affecting the economy of natural gas sector. Natural gas is more of a volatile economy, even more volatile than crude oil mainly affected by the seasonality and natural gas inventories. Weather conditions as storms and hurricanes can force the supply side…

Bus Tip Tuesday: Compressed natural gas burns cleaner than gasoline or diesel fuel and is cheaper as well. Go green for the environment and keep more green in your wallet. Have you heard of compressed natural gas, or CNG, as an alternative source of energy to fuel your vehicle? Not only does CNG produce less pollutants, but the cost of fuel is cheaper as well. Compressed natural gas is cheaper than gasoline or diesel fuel. This can be a great solution for companies looking to save on vehicle…

However, natural gas is not a renewable or sustainable resource either. It also emits a decent amount of emissions. “Natural gas is composed primarily of methane (CH4) – a very potent greenhouse gas. During various steps of natural gas extraction, transportation, and processing, methane is released to the atmosphere” (“Natural Gas” n.d.). While most people focus on carbon dioxide when it comes to global warming and emissions, methane is actually “the second largest overall human generated…
