Nanobubbles May Be Key to Methane Hydrate Extraction
June 11, 2015 | Leave a Comment
University of British Columbia and National Research Council of Canada researchers are studying the role that methane nanobubbles might play in the formation and dissociation of natural gas hydrates. Natural gas hydrates also known as methane hydrates are an untapped source of natural gas that could be a chief energy source across much of the […]

Natural Gas Well Hydraulic Fracking Found Not Guilty
September 17, 2014 | 4 Comments
An Ohio State University led study has pinpointed the likely source of most natural gas contamination in drinking-water wells associated with hydraulic fracturing is the walls of the gas well and their well casing seal to the ground. It’s not the source many people may have feared and should, if the press can get its […]

Getting Ready to Add Biomethane to Natural Gas
September 16, 2014 | Leave a Comment
Adding Biomethane (methane from biomass) to the natural gas supply is held up by lack of standardized and international content conditions. An effort to generate further growth has come from the Helmholtz Center for Environmental Research (UFZ), the German Biomass Research Center (DBFZ), other Members of the IEA Task 37 (Energy from Biogas) and the […]

Finding a Lot of Methane
July 9, 2014 | Leave a Comment
Oregon State University (OSU) researchers found SAR11, the oceans’ most abundant organism, has ability to create methane, or natural gas. The oxygen-rich surface waters of the world’s major oceans are supersaturated with methane – a powerful greenhouse gas that is roughly 20 times more potent than carbon dioxide. So far little is known about the […]

Finding the Escaped Natural Gas
April 15, 2014 | Leave a Comment
Purdue and Cornell University scientists found high levels of the greenhouse gas methane above shale gas wells at a pre-production point not thought to be an important emissions source. The findings could have implications for the design of gas well drilling sites and evaluation of the environmental impacts from natural gas production. Letting natural gas […]
