Bush lifts executive ban on offshore drilling
2008-07-14 20:17:00 WASHINGTON (AP) - Putting pressure on congressional Democrats to back more exploration for oil, President Bush on Monday lifted an executive ban on offshore drilling that has stood since his father was president. But the move, by itself, will do nothing unless Congress acts as well. There are two prohibitions on offshore drilling, one imposed by ...

Indonesia's natural gas production surpassing crude oil
2008-06-08 09:46:00 Indonesia's natural gas production has continued to increase from year to year and is now replacing the position of natural oil production which is now declining, a legislator said.Chairman of Commission VII of the House of Representatives (DPR) which deals with energy affairs, Airlangga Hartarto said Sunday that natural gas whose production was increasing would continue to become a strategic commodity in the future."The increasing volumes of gas and coal production will make these commodities to continue to be strategic in the future and to replace the position of oil which is declining," he said.A hearing between Commission VII of the House and Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro on Wednesday agreed to include gas and coal production into the assumption of the 2009 state budget.Airlangga said both sides agreed to include gas and coal into the assumption of the 2009 state budget because the state revenues from these two commodities were significantly big.Mini...

British scientists develop CO2 to natural gas process
2008-05-10 04:04:00 What if we found a system to transform one of our big "enemies" into a fuel again, and then, when produced, re-transformed again? This is the aim of a project made at University of Nottingham's Centre for Innovation in Carbon Capture and Storage (CICCS), in the UK, directed by Mercedes Maroto-Valer. They have successfully completed a cycle of transforming CO2 into natural gas (CH4). This could lead to making most carbon capturing processes obsolete while also powering cars we already have. According to Ms. Maroto-Valer, the CICCS group tacked the problem by studying what plants do - capturing CO2, water and solar light and transforming it into carbohydrates - and then replicated the process to create methane instead of carbs. However, it's still unknown what the energy balance the system is - we can't defeat the laws of Thermodynamics, after all.[Source: Agencia Efe via Madrid+d]

IFP creates a mild hybrid Smart that uses natural gas
2008-05-05 06:06:00 The Institut Français du Pétrole (IFP, French Oil Institute), has introduced a natural gas-powered car which reduces its CO2 emissions down to 84 g/km. The prototype, called Vehgan, was made from a standard older model Smart Fortwo with several technologies added to reduce fuel consumption. First of all, there is a downsized engine which uses a turbo and an intercooler, in this case, optimized for use with natural gas. Then, the powertrain is mated to a Valeo StARS 14V+X hybrid system, for which the IFP developed a new management process to minimize fuel consumption. This mild hybrid system has a Start&Stop function and features regenerative braking.The car has a range of about 200 km (120 miles), but the composite-made gas reservoirs don't affect the vehicle interior. IFP expects future developments to reduce CO2 emissions down to 80 g/km. That would be 32 percent less than the standard gasoline version. Oh, and let's mention that despite Smart being a German brand,...

'Unconventional' gains in natural gas
2008-04-17 07:00:00 "After coal, natural gas is the No. 2 source for power generation; and the largest source of gas production in the US is now unconventional reserves," explains leading investment advisory expert Neil George (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=1926).In- his Personal Finance (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/ccount/click.php?id=1926) newsletter, he looks at two favorites plays on this trend: Chesapeake Energy (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=chk) (NYSE: CHK (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=chk)) and XTO Energy (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=xto) (NYSE: XTO (http://www.thestockadvisors.co-m/quote.htm?sym=xto))."Unconven-tional reserves now account for close to 40% of all domestic gas production.

Natural Gas Water Heater Benefits Include Maintaining a Steady Supply
2008-04-12 05:45:00 When it comes to a clean burning fuel source to supply your hot water requirements as well as a quick recovery time, a natural gas water heater can certainly take care of your needs. Typically when you use hot water, as cold water enters the tank it activates the thermostat to ignite the flame and heat additional water. The recovery time is shortened by this process, because the natural gas water heater will be heating the water as it enters into the tank. It is not limited to waiting for the tank to be low. One of the tricks of not completely running out of hot water for your own personal use is to have a water heater that is large enough to meet the peak demands of your household. For example, a family of five in which everybody takes a shower at roughly the same time of the day, might need a 100 gallon tank, or more. On the other hand a family of two in all likelihood can get by with a 40 gallon natural gas water heater. Installation Because proper ventilation is needed for safet...

Working with Natural Gas
2008-04-08 01:43:00 We all have heard of the dangers associated with natural gas, we?ve seen spectacular fires and explosions, and the resulting injuries and deaths. I?ve made a list of some safety guidelines for those of you working in the natural gas industry. As you well know common sense is the key, being careful and cautious. Any slip or bump could be fatal. The primary dangers created by liquefied gas are fire, explosion, carbon monoxide poisoning, asphyxiation, and extreme cold. When a gas is liquefied, the pressure can increase rapidly as the temperature rises. Heating can come from natural sources such as the sun. Under normal circumstances, a relief valve on the storage cylinder will release gas in a controlled manner to prevent the cylinder from exploding due to over pressurization. When a cylinder or valve is not properly maintained and rapid pressure build-up occurs due to exposure to fire or other sources of extreme heat, a cylinder failure and subsequent explosion can occur. The phys...

Indian bike makers working on natural gas options in response to Tata Nano
2008-04-01 17:13:00 Motorcycle, scooter and moped manufacturers in India are worried. Since Tata announced their ultra-cheap Nano, the two-wheeled industry is abuzz with worry that the populace will quickly abandon their old single-track vehicles for the safety and convenience of a four-wheeler if the price points get too close. This is a rational concern, and it is exactly why Tata's created the Nano in the first place.In an effort to persuade buyers to stick with their bikes, the major manufacturers in India, including Bajaj, Honda and Kinetic, are all working on natural gas options for their various offerings. According to this article, each of these companies has contacted Energtek, a leader in absorbed natural gas (ANG) technology for help in implementing the conversion process. The advantages to using the ANG lie primarily with price, however there are also eco-benefits to be had, as natural gas burns cleaner than other fossil-fuels. We have to wonder, though, what would stop companies like Tata...

Natural-gas-powered Civic sold out at dealers until June
2008-02-18 01:26:00 You might not know it, but the Honda Civic GX is immensely popular these days. You couldn't get one of these compressed natural gas-powered cars is you wanted one, according to Green Car Advisor over at Edmonds. The best you could do is put their name on a waiting list that currently will get you a GX around June (only Honda dealers in California and New York sell the Civic GX to normal customers).Edmonds write that Honda is thinking about doubling the number of GXs it makes each year (currently 1,000) and that for most of the past decade, Honda sold around 700 of these cars each year. GX buyers make some sacrifices when they opt for the GX over the base (and gasoline-powered) LX - less power and a higher MSRP - but demand for the gasoline-free cars is still shooting up thanks mostly to the cheap cost of natural gas. The carpool sticker offer probably helps driver sales as well, but Honda'll take our money whatever the reason.Gallery: 2007 Honda Civic GXRelated: Natural gas-fuele...

"One of them has written a letter to my office. I am aware that they have had some contact with agencies of the government and I expect that the other one that hasn’t yet made contact will do so based on what I am told.
