ADVANTAGES AND SHORT COMINGS OF GAS VERSUS LIQUEFIED NATURAL GAS (LNG) CASE STUDY : USA PREPARE BY: OFOEGBU ROSEMARY. N INTRODUCTION Gas is a source of energy, which can generate combustion with the source of heat and oxygen, it is a consumable product and highly inflammable. It is a source of energy used in this modern society, it is widely use all over the word for different purposes. In this context, we take a look at the benefit of gas and liquefied natural gas, the effect as a primary source
usually accomplished in a catalytic chemical process called hydride sulfurization which converts the sulfur compounds into hydrogen sulfide gas that is removed from the naphtha by distillation. Also low octane number for naphtha lead to difficulties in starting or bad engine operation,
GAS TRANSPORTATION METHODS Natural gas is a clean and environmental friendly energy source which is estimated to constitute a major part of world energy consumption in the coming years. Usage of natural gas is increasing due to its relatively cheaper costs than diesel or gasoline. Transportation and Storage falls under the final stage of Oil and Gas processing where it gets transported to the end user for further use in industry, plant or any other facility. Transportation of natural gas remains
Russia-China Energy Relations: A Comprehensive Overview The future of Russia-China engagement and competition in the energy sector will largely depend on Russia’s ability to maximize its strategic and economic position in the Asia-Pacific region. Northeast Asia is home to China and Japan – the world’s second and third largest economies by GDP, respectively – and also “boasts half the world’s population [and] includes many of the key engines of the global economy, as well as the largest emitters
seems to be an inconsistency with there CNG fuel consumption. There continues to be variance in what is consumed each day compared to the amount of miles driven. This issue is very important to OMNITRANS because it makes it very difficult to plan for future use with the CNG industry. OMNITRANS wants to have a consistency with CNG use so they can plan for budgeting purposes and new contracts that are connected with the CNG usage. We are going to establish what we believe will be a good analysis for OMNITRANS
reducing or negating environmental damage, and easing political pressure and social stigma on pipelines. Pipeline failures can relate to each aspect of the STEEP model. When a pipeline fails, it effects the surrounding environment by leaking hazardous gas and hydrocarbons into the ecosystem. In addition to the environmental affects, the economical effects are drastic. Between 2002 and 2009, pipeline companies spent over $600,000,000 on pipeline failures (1). Social and political stances on pipelines
be running off of alternative resources. Scientist and engineers across the globe are furthering studies to make alternative fuels a thing of tomorrow. Some such alternative fuels include biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen, propane, and natural gas. All of which have some promising pros. Not only are those chemicals emitted buy vehicles harmful to humans, but they are also hurting the environment. Gasoline is nonrenewable resource. Nonrenewable meaning once it is gone there is no more. First
With the 2004 discovery of a massive shale gas fields in the Marcellus Shale region of the United States this has caused the price of liquefied natural gas to drop in price making it a competitive choice to diesel. This information is giving UPS more options to alternative fuels at a price that the company can afford and still make a profit. UPS
with regards specific products The shale gas underwent a complete turnaround in the early 21st Century. This was spearheaded by the United States Factors affecting the demand and supply of the shale gas industry. Introduction For the purpose of this report, the commodity selected is natural gas will be discussed but focus will be on shale gas. The time period for analysing the factors affecting demand and supply of the shale gas will be from the 1990’s to date. The report
Like other fossil fuels, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a point of controversy in Canada. For the West Coast in particular, the processing and exporting of LNG is a complicated issue that has amassed both significant support and opposition. Steelhead LNG’s proposed natural gas liquefaction plant for the Bamberton site is one such project that has been affected by a downturn in the LNG market, increased opposition by environmentalists, and legal setbacks. Even with an export permit approved by the
