Advantages And Disadvantages Of Liquefied Natural Gas Transportation

Natural gases are the most important source of energy in the modern world of technology and electricity production, which makes the skyrocketing gas production in the U.S. due to hydraulic fracturing incredibly valuable in terms of global trade and economy. The United States has always been reliant on the Middle East and other European and Asian countries for energy, but is very quickly becoming energy independent. "By 2020, the Energy Information Administration predicts that the USA will become a net exporter of natural gas", reaching energy independence from other countries and starting to export gas to provide revenue and pay off debts (Hassett and Mathur). Even

The pipelines are drilled down far into the earth and then span out horizontally. Huge quantities of water combined with sand and chemicals created "fracking fluid", which is pumped down the pipelines. Fracking enables us to reach natural gas that was not usable before. Natural gas is a better alternative to coal, which does not burn as cleanly. However, harmful substances are contained in the fracking fluid that is pumped into the pipes to crack the shale and release natural gas. Sadly natural gas is not the only thing flowing back up the

The natural gas industry is here to stay and we will be a better nation because of it. Many of the issues brought up against natural gas fracturing are often times inflated by people with misguided views of the industry, many of whom probably use natural gas daily. The benefits far outweigh the negative issues that are being blown out of proportion by lobbyists and environmental groups. With any major industry there are going to be side effects that need attention to ensure proper regulation. One would be hard pressed to find a major industry throughout history that required zero regulation to ensure safety. As long as the research continues into finding even better methods to produce natural gas the sky is the limit. A cleaner and more efficient energy source lies in the ground right here in our country. It provides energy and jobs for the people of our nation and does not require us to spend more money overseas where enough has been spent

While oil and natural gas are fossil fuels that release harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, these energy sources are cleaner than coal, which is on the decline as fracking expands. Indeed, coal production fell thirteen percent from 2007 to 2012, as did nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide production. Moreover, pipeline transportation of oil and natural gas is significantly safer than traditional freight methods, which have devastated many communities around the world and cost millions of dollars.

Natural gas has supplied energy to humanity since the 19th century, it offers great jobs, and is more affordable than other energy sources. Without fossil fuels/natural gas it would harder and more expensive to have everyday energy. With fracking being a big part in today’s world, people still wonder if the chemicals used are really dangerous and if there is another way to make them more earth

W hy does everyone care so much about natural gas? Why is it such an essential part of modern culture? Sure, it's an exciting and up and coming technology, which is fuel for the technological generation that we've grown up in, but we need to take a closer look to see the methods and impacts that could affect generations after us.

This therefore makes it one of the positive aspects of using this alternative source of energy. That is, the process has prevented America from using close to $350 to $450 billions spent on imported oil by extracting our own (Wilber, 2012). This money is therefore used in other areas such as the investment in wind and solar energy among others. Once these alternative energies are in check, natural gas will be used for other reasons such as transportation purposes or for energy efficiency, as it is a powerful energy

Natural gas is not a clean nor renewable source of energy. A transition to wind, solar, geothermic, and hydroelectric energy along with other natural resources that do not produce the harmful environmental concerns are needed. The cleanliness of our air and the reduction of our dependence on fossil fuels is something that needs to take priority. There is a responsibility to do as much as we can to take care of the resources around us and not to destroy them without knowing the consequences that will be

The Industrial Revolution created a society and energy consumption based on coal. However, in a more traditional society, natural gas has been obtained through oil drilling. While

The importance of natural gas is to replace the role of oil in the economy. Natural gas is good for the US because it can produce natural gas domestically. It has plenty of energy for use in people’s homes and in industry. It will help the US economy cope with the depletion of peak oil production. Crude oil is nearly three times as expensive as Natural gas. (Pipeline, 2009-2013)

Most of the natural gas transportation in the USA is done through 305,000 miles of transmission pipelines. Existing LNG degasification facilities allow for limited international trade of LNG (Table 2). Due to free market pricing when natural gas cost less in summer period, gas-storing facilities are widespread over the country including more than 400 underground storages and 113 LNG peaking facilities (EIA, 2008).

The natural gas vehicle (NGV) has been inconsistent throughout history. With our environmental conditions in fuel consumption, reaching years a new position in this arena has emerged positively for gas to be an alternative for the fossil fuel. (AR) Natural test vehicles were prevalent in Europe during World War II in the United States, in the interest in this gasoline alternative raised in the nineteen fifties. The International Association for natural gas vehicles was formed during the Canadian energy exhibition in Vancouver in nineteen eighty-six. By the early nineteen nineties, natural gas vehicle supporters’ set-up guidelines for international commercialization of natural gas vehicles. Many natural gas vehicle associations emerged,

Natural gas is a very important energy source in the world and it is the cleanest and most hydrogen rich of all the hydrocarbon energy sources and it has high energy conversation efficiencies for power generation [1]. In olden days natural

The production of natural gas has increased over the past decade along with its consumption. However, some of the top consumers consist of countries such as Japan and South Korea, where natural gas is not produced at a sufficient amount domestically. As a result, the need for liquefied natural gas, also known as LNG, has increased. This need for LNG comes from the concept of condensing natural gas to its liquid state so that its volume is reduced to 1/600th of its original volume, making it easier to transport (Source, 2---). Plus, the demand for natural gas in countries such as Japan and South Korea is starting to increase the need for LNG since most natural gas producing nations are too far for pipelines. Therefore, LNG is becoming a viable option for the transportation of natural gas. In this paper, the creation of LNG will be discussed to show how LNG is becoming a major factor in the energy industry and the global economy.

Gas is an energy future of Indonesia. It is a fact that cannot be denied anymore. Based on existing data, throughout 2010 there were new discoveries of gas reserves are significant enough to achieve 2.09 trillion cubic feet, while the discovery of oil only amounted to 140 million barrels only. On January 1, 2011, proved reserves position and potential of gas in Indonesia reached 153.72 trillion cubic feet of proven and potential reserves and crude oil for 7.41 billion Barrels.
