Wybrane nowe technologie w transporcie i zastosowaniach energetycznych gazu ziemnego
(2007) Warowny, Witold; Rychlicki, Stanisław
There is a need for non-pipeline technologies that can capture and transport natural gas to markets, especially for stranded gas reserves and for shorter distance transport of the gas. For this purpose following technologies are developed: natural gas hydrate (NGH), compressed natural gas (CNG) and thermoacoustic liquefaction. All of these technologies are relatively new and not finally mature. In the second case, for energy applications have been considered fuel cells, CNG for vehicles and new energy measurement method. Applications of the fuel cells are very extensive, e.g. in: electronic devices, home, transportation, military, power and industrial installation. Fuel cells are still heavily under technological development and their present state are very expensive. The natural gas has a promising future as the cleanest an alternative fuel for vehicles, because reduces the emission toxic exhaust gases, greenhouse gases and noise level. It is especially important in the cities, where is the greatest concentration of people and vehicles. For energy measurement, instead conversion of volume for known composition, a correlation method is proposed. A new concept of the method is based on measurement of physical properties.
