Large volumes of cheap North American natural gas from unconventional plays are driving companies to monetize the new supply in several different ways. One is to use LNG as a marine fuel. We have briefly touched upon the benefits of using LNG as a marine fuel in a previous article. There are two main drivers […]
A New Role for Small-scale and Peak Shaving LNG Infrastructure
Monetization of the abundant supply of natural gas from unconventional shale plays has been primarily focused on large-scale LNG export projects across North America. The aim of these projects is not to supply LNG for domestic markets, but to supply large markets abroad in Europe and Asia. Domestically, the largest use for LNG is for […]
Two Paths Forward for Natural Gas in Marine Applications
With tighter emissions regulations looming over the heads of marine vessel fleet owners, there is new interest in alternative fuels that are more environmentally friendly than diesel or heavy fuel oil. The expanded supply of North American shale gas is giving fleet owners two environmentally friendly options for alternative marine fuels: LNG and methanol. Both […]
Advancing Natural Gas Use in Transportation
Nearly all heavy duty trucks in the Unites States run on diesel. However, with an abundant and cheap supply of natural gas from shale plays there is growing interest in replacing diesel fuel in heavy duty tucking, as we have discussed in our recent blogs and reports. LNG will likely be adopted at a regional level […]
Shell Creates a Stronger LNG Portfolio with BG
We spent this morning chatting with a couple news reporters about Shell’s decision to buy BG and figured a blog post around it may be interesting. Given our work in natural gas monetization, we believe that this transaction significantly strengthens Shell’s position in global LNG markets. First, it enhances the quality of Shell’s LNG supply […]
Bloomberg Quotes ADI Analytics on Small-Scale LNG Projects
Uday Turaga of ADI Analytics was quoted in Bloomberg’s story on small-scale LNG projects in North America and an advantage that they hold over their large-scale counterparts. Drawing upon his industry experience and knowledge of the natural gas value chain, Turaga commented on small-scale LNG export projects: Now, with finances tight, smaller projects have an advantage […]
Summary of the LNG Export Regulatory Process
Liquefied natural gas export projects in the United States have many hurdles to jump over before they can commence operations. One of the largest hoops to jump is the regulatory hoop. In the United States there are two major agencies that handle regulatory approvals for LNG exporting projects. First, is the U.S. Department of Energy […]
New LNG Export Project Planned in Louisiana
Live Oak LNG is the latest North American LNG export project to be announced. It joins 40 some other projects that have been announced since the increase in shale gas production. Live Oak estimates that their five million mtpa project will be in service by the end of 2019. However, Live Oak’s timeline is likely […]
What Role Can CNG Fill as a Transportation Fuel?
Recently, we wrote about the role of natural gas as a transportation fuel and the focus was on LNG. CNG is another way that natural gas can be used as a transportation fuel. There is not a CNG or LNG specific engine. In both cases, the fuel is delivered to the automobile engine as a […]
Will GTL Survive Low Oil Prices?
Sasol recently announced that its $11 billion gas to liquids (GTL) and ethane cracker project in Lake Charles, Louisiana has been suspended. Gas to liquids technology takes natural gas and converts it into high-value fuels such as diesel and jet fuel. In addition to fuels, the Sasol plant was also planning to produce petrochemicals. In […]
