There are distinctive energy contents with LPG and Natural Gas, they are the same, but they are different in many ways (Hahn). LPG and Natural Gas are broadly accessible and used for thousands of applications (Hahn). There are two core distinctions in the way that natural gas (Methane) and LPG (Propane) are burnt (Hahn). CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) is a readily substitution of petrol that is made by compressing natural gas (Hahn). Consisting mostly of methane, CNG is odorless, colorless and tasteless (Sirdah, Rahma). CNG is produced from domestically drilled natural gas wells or in conjunction with crude oil production (Sirdah, Rahma). CNG Methane gas can be stored at high pressure; typically over 200 bars (Hahn). LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) The term LPG encompasses more than one kind of gas (Hahn). There are a number of hydrocarbon gases that fall into the type of LPG (Hahn). Their common trait is that they can be compacted into a liquid low pressures (Hahn). The first difference are in LPG is the energy content, less gas is required to produce the same amount of heat because of a higher calorific value, or energy content (Hahn). The second difference is LPG requires more oxygen to gas ratio for proper ignition (Hahn).
Not only is running an LPG car economical, it is also a cleaner burning fuel than petrol, so engine life is extended and greenhouse emissions reduced (Sirdah, Rahma). Natural Gas (Methane) Natural gas is primarily Methane (Sirdah, Rahma). CNG
Electric cars are better than gas cars because electric cars make less noise than gas cars when driving. The engines of electric cars make almost no noise, which the engineers have been perfecting for about 10 years now. The only sound you can hear is probably the hum of tires on the road when driving. On the other hand, the amount of noise inside a gas car can be as loud as 75-80 decibels. Electric cars are also better than gas cars because electric cars have low cost maintenance costs because electric cars do not need oil changes and it does not need oil for the engine to run.
When it comes to gas powered cars, there are some reasons why it’s morely prefered. First of all, the electric car is still relatively new, while gas powered cars have been around since the beginning. The transition to an electric car may not be so easy, as having a gas car is what everyone is used to. The gas powered car can also travel longer distances, due to having more power than an electric car as an electric car can travel about 100 miles in one charge. However there are many other reasons why an electric vehicle is the better choice for transportation purposes.
Mother Nature gave us natural resources to patronize and natural gas is one of them. Small quantities of ethane, propane, butane and pentane are found in the natural gas composition but it is mostly made up of methane. The high volume of pipeline gas makes it difficult for it to be transported in its gaseous form. This is the reason why the oil industry is dominating because of how easy it can be transported. Pipelines are suitable for transporting pipeline natural gas but constructing the suitable infrastructure is very expensive and not technically feasible for global transportation.1 In addition, for you to be able to make it in the gas industry you need trading partners to buy your natural gas. Having said that, one can deduce that the only way to make a
When it comes to the environmental impact that gas and diesel engines have. It turns out that gasoline is more unstable than diesel, not because of what its base consists of, but because of the additives it contains. In addition, vehicles that use diesel tend to be more fuel-efficient and produce less greenhouse gases. Diesel is more environmentally friendly. The United States has what is considered to be the dirtiest diesel, but as of June 1, 2010 this is going to be different. U.S. diesel fuel has a lower measure of ignition quality. This means that when it is cold outside, ignition performance is poor and can result in higher emissions. This is why you see truck drivers idling their trucks all night long in cold weather rather than risk a troublesome start in the mornings. But, the sulfur in the diesel that is emitted during cold ignitions and long engine idling is still harmful to the environment because the sulfurs prevent the control of diesel particulate emissions through diesel particulate filters. This is changing, though, since new advanced technologies such as nitrogen oxide absorbers are being developed to reduce these emissions. As for gasoline, it is the non-aliphatic hydrocarbons as well as carcinogenic additives
Hydrocarbons: Hydrocarbons are a form of organic compounds consisting exclusively of hydrogen molecules and carbon molecules. Classes of this composite entail: arenes, alkynes, alkenes, and alkanes. Hydrocarbons are chief workings of natural gas, oils, and pesticides, which can lead to some negative effects on the environment.
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.
Natural Gas is one of the main sources of energy for many of our daily needs and activities because of the clean, safe, and useful characteristic. Natural gas is colorless,
Both S. A Novel About the Balkans by Slavenka Drakulic and This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen by Tadeusz Borowski are novels that tell the tale of those who were victims of some of the worst crimes ever committed in human history. The main characters of each novel are subjected to terrible conditions but nevertheless both defeat the odds and survive. Survivors of such events often struggle to deal with their past. The authors of each novel deal with this struggle in different ways through the characters.
After the fracturing process is over, GasFrac is able to recover one hundred percent of it’s fracturing components, un-like conventional fracturing which can leave up to 80% of it’s fracturing liquids in the ground, which causes pollution and extensive cleanup. Also it takes much less space to store LPG, which decreases the amount of trucks needed to transport it compared to conventional fracking. As you can see, there are more positive factors to LPG vs. conventional fracking liquids than being water-less.
Despite natural gas being cleaner compared to coal, its use still has impacts on the air quality, as well as human health. Besides, its production has enormous environmental consequences in form of habitat destruction. Moreover, the contribution of natural gas production to climate change is just slightly less compared to coal in terms of energy. Furthermore, a decrease in the natural gas reserves has led to doubling of its price. This makes it a more volatile and less attractive alternative for electricity production compared to clean sources such as solar and wind. There is also an opportunity of meeting power generation and heating needs using efficiency measures and renewable energy sources rather than natural gas. As such, Ontario is left with an alternative of considering most efficient and environmental friendly energy sources, which include hydropower, solar, ground heat, biomass, and wind.
Fracking is a modern technique to explore natural gas through a controversial procedure. The controversy about scientific evidence for the impact of fracking has raged unabated for over a decade. It has now become one of the most popular debates between the supporters of Greenpeace or environmentalists and the energy companies. Now it’s a centrepiece of discussion in the context of the energy solution and considered as a really important source of energy by last few decades. Recent developments in the field of natural gas have led to a renewed interest in fracking. Energy seekers support a lot of arguments for their strength at the same on their counterparts. However, this essay will give a brief overview of the history, process, the
Hydraulic fracturing, or hydro fracking, is a sizeable issue for many. The process includes pumping the fracking fluid, which is a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals deep below the surface to fracture the rock and free the natural gas. People are either in favor or against hydro fracking. There is no in-between. While it is highly controversial regarding the safety of hydrofracking, some argue it’s unsafe because it contaminates the ground water, facts show otherwise. Many tests have been completed and studies have shown in a majority of the cases, that it is safe. However, it questions the overall safety if not all tests were proven successful. It is the social responsibility of the community to modify hydrofracking policies in order for the complete agreement of society’s benefit from it. Hydrofracking should be allowed to take place in the United States despite the environmental concerns. Natural gas is more beneficial to society than oil and coal because it is better for the atmosphere, and the domestic economy within the United States.
Natural gas has been found to be so much safer to use to heat a house than with an electric heater. Heating a home with natural gas is much safer than heating a home with electric. Electric heaters are known for catching fire, sparking, and burning. The most common thing electric heaters are known for is shorting out and causing the electric sockets to burn. Electric heaters are not always the warmest things they take a very long time to heat homes even if they’re not all that small. Natural gas heaters take less time to heat any sized home and heats the home almost 100% warmer. Natural gas is 120 to 140 degrees warmer than any other heat, can be used to heat water, and to heat your pool outside. There are many reasons to love natural gas, it’s easier to install and transport, its warmer, cooks faster, and is better to use as fuel. One thing no one is told when natural gas is used is if it leaks and no one knows the chance of getting carbon monoxide poisoning is very
Natural gas is a mixture of Hydrocarbon gases that form with a petroleum deposit. A hydrocarbon is a compound that’s mostly made up of Hydrogen and Carbon. Natural gas is methane together with some of ethane, propane, butane, and other gases, Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and Ethane is colorless and odorless. Natural gas is used as fuel and in the making of organic compounds. Natural gas is also highly flammable. (The American Heritage Dictionary, 2009)
With the carbon emission regulations recently introduced by US government, natural gas is the most likely substitution to coal for electricity generation for years to come. Latest price reductions made natural gas from a cost perspective much more attractive than coal.
