"The Honda Civic GX, a car powered by compressed natural gas, is a perfect case in point." "The company will sell the cars to companies or governments as fleet vehicles, but those fleets have their own refueling systems and mechanics." 08-08 News -06-05-06 EU Nations Make Ocean "Land Grab" (Guardian Unlimited) "A vast tract of the Atlantic seabed more than 200 miles off shore is being claimed by a coalition of four European countries eager to expand their oil and gas prospecting rights." "No country may claim any part of the seabed more than 350 miles from its shore. Once rights are established, states may extract the minerals and natural gas or oil discovered in the annexed seabed." 06-06 -08-16-06 Armenia Switches to Lower Priced Natural Gas (ABC News) "The tiny country of 3 million people in the Caucasus mountains has a strong claim to be a world leader in running vehicles on natural gas: a fuel that produces fewer harmful greenhouse gases than petrol or diesel." 08-06 -09-08-08 Gas Pipeline for Alaska Signed into Law (U.S. News) "Two days before she was picked as John McCain's running mate last week, Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska presided over what she called 'one of the most historic and exciting events' in Alaska since statehood when she signed a bill that could clear the way for a massive natural gas pipeline." "It's an ambitious project. The price tag for the planned 1,715-mile pipeline is an estimated $26 billion—and it's been a long time in the making. Alaskans have been eyeing their vast natural gas resources and attempting to sell them to buyers for decades." "The pipeline, which is scheduled to be completed by 2018, is expected to carry about 4.5 billion cubic feet a day—the equivalent of about 8 percent of the country's current natural gas production. (Today, in fact, the eight largest natural gas-producing shale fields in the U.S. yield a combined 6.6 billion cubic feet a day, according to a recent private report.)" 09-08 -09-29-07 Is Natural Gas Our Next Clean Energy Source? (MSNBC News) Fareed Zakaria tells Robert Hefner: "Natural gas is plentiful and clean, but when you add up the costs of exploration, storage and delivery, it's also expensive." "Could you use the grid that pipes gas into people's homes to deliver natural gas as fuel for cars?" "America has a very undervalued asset in the million-mile pipeline grid that delivers natural gas to towns and cities, and directly to over 60 million American homes. You can put a small compressor appliance in your garage and fuel your automobile every night from the natural gas that is already connected to your house. Natural gas is also an excellent fuel to generate electricity. Prior to the Fuel Use Act in 1978 that prohibited the use of natural gas for power generation, Oklahoma generated over 80 percent of its electricity with natural gas. Today about 85 percent of Singapore's electricity is generated by natural gas, and they are headed toward 100 percent." 09-07 Papers Farm Methane Projects (NativeEnergy.com) "The project will use an anaerobic digester to capture methane gas from cow manure. By using methane to produce electricity with a 165 kW generator and recovering the waste heat to both heat the digester and reduce the use of oil-fired water heating required on the farm, the farm will consume less heating fuel and will displace electricity on the grid, keeping tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) pollution out of the air right here in your region!" 06-06 Gas Turbine Advances Announced (Fossil.Energy.gov) Describes a new gas turbine and explains that most new power plants over the next 10 - 15 years will be fueled by gas. 6-01 Hydrogen and Natural Gas Vehicles (EERE.Energy.gov) "Vehicles fueled with hydrogen/natural gas blends (HCNG) are an initial step toward the hydrogen-based transportation of the future. HCNG vehicles offer the potential for immediate emissions benefits, such as a reduction in nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions. At the same time, they can pave the way for a transition to fuel cell vehicles by building early demand for hydrogen infrastructure." 08-06 Methane Reduction in Europe (European Communities) Provides information on European efforts at cost-effective reduction of methane, one of the main greenhouse gases that are increasing due to human activity. A major effort will be made to reduce methane escaping during extraction, transport, and distribution of oil, natural gas, and coal. (Uses PDF format.) 6-01
