The many uses of natural gas have made it an equal alternative to oil and coal. It is becoming more and more popular due to the fact that it is used in many ways, mostly in the industrial, commercial, residential, electric power generation, and transportation sectors. The advantages in using natural gas include the following: it is economical, cleaner than other fossil fuels, abundant, easily
As shown in the reference case, the cost of power generated at conventional power plants is lower than the cost of wind-generated power under the given assumptions of lower fuel prices. Wind-generated power at a European inland site is approximately 33-34 per cent more expensive than natural gas- and coal-generated power.
In this episode of Energy 101 host Lacey Lett explains how combined cycle natural gas-fired power plants work.
Carbon dioxide emissions of 50,000 power plants worldwide, the globe's most concentrated source of greenhouse gases, have been compiled into a massive new data base, called CARMA -- Carbon
HRSG designs in such plants must be capable of accommodating the rapid change in temperature and flow of flue gas generated by the startup and load ramping of advanced class combustion turbines
Floating power plants' unique characteristic is the ability to deliver them in one piece; almost completely pre-installed following a smart plug & play philosophy. Our new SeaFloat floating power plant concepts can be utilized for mobile and/or permanent installation to alleviate energy shortages for national grid or industrial application.
The UK will only need to build a small number of new gas power plants over the next two decades, as it continues to shift to low-carbon sources of electricity. This is according to new energy and emissions projections published by the UK Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), which see renewables overtaking gas by 2020

At 5,597MW installed capacity, Surgutskaya GRES-2 (Sugrut-2), a combined cycle power plant located in the Russian city of Surgut, is the world's biggest gas-fired power station.
Pollution control can make power plants safer: Flue gas combustion modification can change oxygen content or temperature of combustion to reduce the amount of partially oxidized nitrogen compounds. Electrostatic precipitators can trap solid or liquid particles from gas streams using electric charges, while flue gas deacidifiers can remove
The gas is about 30 times better at holding in the atmosphere's heat compared with carbon dioxide. So if enough methane leaks during production, natural gas's slim advantage over other fuels
At the same time, the market has also seen the recent bankruptcy filing of a merchant gas-fired power plant in the ERCOT market in Texas. Common to each of these project-financed power generation plants was the employment of financial hedging instruments designed to ensure a stable revenue stream to help cover debt service obligations over the
Gas power plants can emit up to 120 times the levels of methane reported by companies to regulators in the United States, according to new research. As the world attempts to switch to a low-carbon
Duke Energy Power Plant Tour: Unlike the two very simplified animations above, this is an actual video and photo tour of a real gas power plant (the Duke Energy plant in Fayette, Masontown, Pennsylvania), taking in the control room, the cooling towers, the steam turbines, generators, and transmission yard.
An electrolyzer powered by the on-campus solar electric system was installed at UCI that feeds its renewable hydrogen to the campus power plant. A second project with UCI involved a simulation of the campus microgrid that showed the fraction of renewable power used by the microgrid could increase from 3.5 percent to 35 percent by using a P2G
The CPV Fairview Energy Center is a 1,050 megawatt natural gas-fueled combined-cycle electric generation facility in Jackson Township, Cambria County, PA. The facility generates enough electricity to power over 1 million homes and businesses, helping Pennsylvania to safely meet its demand for energy with reliable, cost-effective and
Texas has a wide variety of energy sources. Once dominated by natural gas and coal, the power mix has been changing rapidly. Wind generation replaced coal in the number two position in 2017. ERCOT has also approved the planned connection of much new generation capacity to the Texas electric grid, none of it coal. The permitted new connections to the grid include 2,000 megawatts from solar
Overview. Biogas technology, the generation of a combustible gas from anaerobic biomass digestion, is a well-known technology.There are already millions of biogas plants in operation throughout the world.Whereas using the gas for direct combustion in household stoves or gas lamps is common, producing electricity from biogas is still relatively rare in most developing countries.
Natural gas is a fossil fuel, though the global warming emissions from its combustion are much lower than those from coal or oil. Natural gas emits 50 to 60 percent less carbon dioxide (CO2) when combusted in a new, efficient natural gas power plant compared with emissions from a typical new coal plant [ 1 ].
We strongly caution natural gas power plants and other industries against the venting of high-pressure natural gas in or near work sites. This practice, although common, is inherently unsafe.
