Switching a City from Natural Gas to Hydrogen
DNV GL points out in a recent article that while burning natural gas emits about half the carbon of an equivalent amount of oil or coal, combusting hydrogen (H2) gas emits none at point of use. Steam-methane reforming (SMR) is the main process used to separate natural gas, which is mostly methane, to produce H2 and carbon dioxide (CO2). Hydrogen can then be used as a lower-carbon fuel, while ...

Oil remains king, but coal and natural gas use continue to grow
Although oil remains the world’s leading energy source, coal and natural gas continue to grow in significance, according to new research conducted by the Worldwatch Institute for its Vital Signs Online service (www.worldwatch.org). Global consumption of coal increased 5.4 percent in 2011, to 3.72 billion tons of oil equivalent, while natural gas use grew 2.2 percent, to 2.91 billion tons of ...

New patent boosts CO2 capture hopes
A technology that could in theory catch 90% of carbon dioxide from coal-fired power stations has been patented by US government scientists. Employing an enzyme-based membrane fabric 10 times thinner than a soap bubble, it could separate carbon dioxide from nitrogen or oxygen and speed up its dissolution in water by a factor of 10 million. And its triumphant designers say that, in laboratory ...

New data reveals rising coal use
New data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) reveals a troubling trend: Coal-fired power generation—and its associated greenhouse gas emissions—were on the rise as 2012 came to an end. According to the data, which was released yesterday, natural gas prices have risen significantly since April of 2012, prompting a rise in coal-fired electric generation (see figure ...

A greener way to get electricity from natural gas
A new type of natural-gas electric power plant proposed by MIT researchers could provide electricity with zero carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere, at costs comparable to or less than conventional natural-gas plants, and even to coal-burning plants. But that can only come about if and when a price is set on the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases — a step the U.S. ...
