Traditional power plants produce a mix of toxic gases as they burn fuels such as coal and natural gas for power. These emissions include greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and acid rain-forming oxides of sulfur (SOx) and nitrogen (NOx). NOx can cause severe respiratory problems, stimulate algae growth in waterways decreasing water […]
October 2012: Benchmarking Shale Gas Monetization Options
October 22, 2012- The 2012 Gas-to-Market & Energy Conversion Forum hosted by Energy Frontiers International was held in Houston, Texas at Hotel Granduca. ADI Analytics CEO, Uday Turaga and Colin McHattie, Senior Advisor, presented on, “Benchmarking Shale Gas Monetization Options.” ADI Analytics shared their research on new gas monetization opportunities that was originally motivated by the rapid growth of shale […]
Methanol for Power Generation
The discovery and rapid development of shale gas and unconventional oil plays has dramatically increased the supply of natural gas in North America. This growing natural gas resource can be monetized in several ways including conversion into liquefied natural gas (LNG), methanol, or other liquid hydrocarbons. Given the promise of new, cheap supply and methanol’s […]
A Brief History of Natural Gas Demand
United States natural gas production has grown at a rate of 3.8% per year since 2008 from 55 Bcf/d to 66 Bcf/d in 2013. Shale gas production, however, has grown at a much faster pace. In 2008 production was less than 6 Bcf/d, but production grew at a rate of over 40% per year to […]
