Natural 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…
Read moreAtmospheric gases are not toxic. As their concentration increases, however, they have an impact on life and a combustion process (especially for oxygen). Oxygen itself is not flammable, but it maintains combustion. In contrast, nitrogen and argon inhibit combustion. Changes…
