In a gas plant, the energy stored in combustible gases is converted into electricity. In natural gas or biogas molecules, the chemical bonds are formed by the carbon atoms store energy. During the combustion of these gases in the presence…
Read moreCompressed air is often described as a 4th source of energy. Although its role is not as important as electricity, gas or oil, it remains fundamental in today’s industrial world. Compressed air is an energy carrier commonly used in many…
Read moreAt first glance, it seems irrelevant to compare the supply of packaged gas from different suppliers. Indeed, we generally think that these are almost identical products and that only the price level is differentiating. In practice, however, the situation is…
Read moreIndustrial gases are supplied in different bottle ranges depending on their properties. Some are supplied at high pressure while others are only available at low pressure. The properties of an industrial gas dictate the packaging mode in which it will…
Read moreNatural gas is the third most consumed source of energy in the world. Natural gas reserves are less concentrated geographically than in the natural reserves of oil, although nearly half of conventional reserves are located in Russia, Iran and Qatar….
Read moreNatural gas is a fossil energy well known in French homes. They are a third to use it, for heating, hot water or cooking. Who says fossil energy, says deposit and extraction. Where are the main natural gas reserves in…
Read moreNatural gas is not “produced” per se. It is rather an extraction followed by the refining of a raw material available in nature. Thus, there are several essential steps before obtaining natural gas usable by individuals. Find natural gas deposits…
Read moreAfter extraction and processing, natural gas still suffers significant transportation costs. The construction of long-distance gas pipelines is a heavy investment. LNG shipments in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are also very capital intensive, requiring the construction of…
Read moreEnergy efficiency, a new watchword for natural gas producers Even if natural gas is supposed to be “the least polluting fossil energy”, its extraction and combustion remain highly CO2-emitting. However, in the current context of global warming, the need to…
Read moreThe dangers caused by lack of oxygen Oxygen is essential to life. Despite the fact that a healthy person can survive a short exposure to oxygen as low as about 16%, sufficient oxygen supply must be present in any atmosphere…
