Renewable energy sources offer unprecedented opportunities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But some challenges remain to be solved before their full benefits can be reaped. The main one relates to the intermittency of their electricity supply which can lead to grid problems such as congestion and imbalance between generation and demand. Energy conversion and storage has been touted as a ver…

Advances in Natural Gas Technology

Although natural gas has been obtained from organic-rich shales in the United States since the first commercial gas well was produced in 1821 to provide gas light to four commercial establishments and a mill in the small town of Fredonia, New York, large-scale shale gas production is a recent phenomenon. Assessments of the geological and engineering challenges of shale gas resources were pe…

Advances in Natural Gas Emerging Technologies

The global request of natural gas (NG) is continuously increasing, consequently also the regasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) is becoming a process largely employed. Liquefied natural gas at a temperature of around 113 K at atmospheric pressure has to be regasified for its transportation by pipeline
