  • Natural Gas the Composition of Natural Gas Is 95% Methane, Almost
    Natural gas The composition of natural gas is 95% methane, almost 4% ethane and nitrogen, and 1% carbon dioxide and propane. It is produced by the natural transformation of organic materials over millions of years. Methane: the simplest hydrocarbon Methane gas belongs to the hydrocarbon family. A hydrocarbon is an organic composition that contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms. With just one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms, methane (CH4) is the simplest hydrocarbon. Some other hydrocarbons are: propane (C3H8), ethane (C2H6) and butane (C4H10). Benefits of Natural Gas Natural gas is increasingly the fuel of choice in today's homes. Below are the top reasons to choose natural gas for your home. 1 | Affordability Natural gas costs less to use in your home than electricity, heating oil, propane or kerosene. On average, electricity costs almost four times more than natural gas. 2 | Convenience and reliability Natural gas is piped directly into your home. It's always there when you need it, and you never have to worry about running out of fuel or arranging for deliveries. 3 | Comfort Natural gas heat feels warmer than heat produced by an electric heat pump. 4 | Domestic supply Nearly 100% of the natural gas consumed in the U.S. is produced in North America with 90% coming directly from the U.S. 5 | Environmental impact Simply put - natural gas is the cleanest-burning energy source for your home. The combustion of natural gas emits 45% less carbon dioxide than coal. 6 | Energy efficiency Natural gas is highly efficient. About 90% of the natural gas produced is delivered to customers as useful energy.

  • New York State Pre-Filed Revised Evidentiary Hearing Exhibit
    The Proposed Broadwater LNG Import Terminal Update of Synapse Analysis Prepared by: Ezra Hausman and Kenji Takahashi, Synapse Energy Economics 22 Pearl Street, Cambridge, MA 02139 www.synapse-energy.com 617-661-3248 January 19, 2007 OAGI0000225_ 1 Background In March, 2006, Synapse Energy Economics ("Synapse") released a report entitled "The Proposed Broadwater LNG Import Terminal: An Analysis and Assessment of Alternatives"! ("Synapse Report"). The purpose of the Synapse Report, prepared at the request of Save the Sound,2 was to identify and evaluate potential alternatives to the proposed Broadwater Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) import terminal in Long Island Sound to meet the long-term energy needs of the New York and Connecticut markets. In brief, the Synapse Report concluded that: • There is no evidence that the regional market requires a base load gas supply facility capable of providing an additional one billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of natural gas to meet its immediate or long-term needs. More pressing may be an infrastructure or other investment to address potential supply deficiencies during peak winter heating periods. However, the studies prepared by Broadwater Energy do not substantiate even this requirement for the region; • Other, environmentally preferable approaches to resolving any anticipated peak load supply shortfall would provide economically and socially preferable alternatives to any perceived supply deficiency. Such approaches include increased development and use oflocal storage facilities; investments in natural gas and electric energy efficiency and renewable energy resources; expanded use of combined heat and power technology; and repowering of existing gas-fired power plants to increase fuel efficiency.

  • Liquefied Natural Gas - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Liquefied natural gas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LNG#LNG_safety_and_accidents Liquefied natural gas From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from LNG) Liquefied natural gas or LNG is natural gas that has been converted to liquid form for ease of storage or transport. The liquefaction process involves removal of certain components (such as dust, helium, or impurities that could cause difficulty downstream, e.g. water, and heavy hydrocarbons) and then condensed into a liquid at close to atmospheric pressure (Maximum Transport Pressure set around 25 kPa (3.6psi)) by cooling it to approximately -163 degrees Celsius. LNG is transported in specially designed cryogenic sea vessels or cryogenic road tankers; and stored in specially designed tanks. LNG is about 1/614th the volume of natural gas at standard temperature and pressure (STP), making it much more cost-efficient to transport over long distances where pipelines do not exist. Where moving natural gas by pipelines is not possible or economical, it can be transported by LNG vessels. The most common tank types are membrane (TGZ Mark III and GT96) and Moss Rosenberg (spheres) or Self-Supporting Prismatic Type. Contents 1 Basic facts on LNG 1.1 Trade in LNG 2 LNG environmental concerns 3 LNG safety and accidents 4 LNG storage 5 LNG Transportation 6 LNG refrigeration 7 LNG, LPG, and CNG 7.1 Liquefied natural gas (LNG) 7.2 Compressed natural gas (CNG) 7.3 Liquid petroleum gas (LPG) 8 References 9 See also 10 External links Basic facts on LNG LNG offers an energy density comparable to petrol and diesel fuels and produces less pollution, but its relatively high cost of production and the need to store it in expensive cryogenic tanks have prevented its widespread use in commercial applications.
