In the current discussion about alternative energy supply and strategies in Europe, LNG comes to the fore. For the implementation of LNG in Central Europe, there are many hurdles to be overcome. With the “LNG Masterplan Rhine-Main-Danube”, a first step is being made to overcome these barriers. Within this Masterplan, a Framework and Market Analysis was conducted. Therefore, extensive literature research was carried out in a first step, to have a detailed analysis and assessment of the developments for the implementation and applications of LNG. The results of this paper should not only point to the problem areas, but to the potentials for LNG as well and make a significant contribution for further implementation steps.

Increasing Temperature

In this study, a methane (CH4) cracking experiment in the temperature range of 425–800°C is presented. The experimental result shows that there are some alkane and alkene generation during CH4 cracking, in addition to hydrogen (H2). Moreover, the hydrocarbon gas displays carbon isotopic reversal ( δ 13 C 1 > δ 13 C 2 ) below 700°C, while solid carbon appears on the inner wall of the gold tube above 700°C. The variation in experimental products (including gas and solid carbon) with increasing temperature suggests that CH4 does not crack into carbon and H2 directly during its cracking, but first cracks into methyl (CH3⋅) and proton (H+) groups. CH3⋅ shares depleted 13C for preferential bond cleavage in 12C–H rather than 13C–H. CH3⋅ combination leads to depletion of 13C in heavy gas and further causes the carbon isotopic reversal ( δ 13 C 1 > δ 13 C 2 ) of hydrocarbon gas. Geological analysis of the experimental data indicates that the amount of heavy gas formed by the combination of CH3⋅ from CH4 early cracking and with depleted 13C is so little that can be masked by the bulk heavy gas from organic matter (OM) and with enriched 13C at R o < 2.5 % . Thus, natural gas shows normal isotope distribution ( δ 13 C 1 < δ 13 C 2 ) in this maturity stage. CH3⋅ combination (or CH4 polymerization) intensifies on exhaustion gas generation from OM in the maturity range of R o > 2.5 % . Therefore, the carbon isotopic reversal of natural gas appears at the overmature stage. CH4 polymerization is a possible mechanism for carbon isotopic reversal of overmature natural gas. The experimental results indicate that although CH4 might have start cracking at R o > 2.5 % , but it cracks substantially above 6.0% R o in actual geological settings.

This article examines the practices through which Cambridge Energy Research Associates disseminates natural gas market analysis among senior-level decision makers in the Alaska state government. Cambridge Energy is a global consulting firm that provides knowledge on the future of energy markets. The US natural gas market has recently undergone a revolutionary transformation as a consequence of changing regulation. This has led to expansion in the services of consulting firms such as Cambridge Energy, who produce analysis on the uncertainties affecting the future. In fall 2000, with a rise in energy prices and renewed interest in commercializing Arctic natural gas, Alaska Governor Tony Knowles awarded a contract to Cambridge Energy to assist with market analysis slated to lead to construction of Alaska's natural gas pipeline. Drawing on ethnographic research at key sites of decision making, I show how domestication of analyses in state and news media discourses serves to govern Arctic gas development.

The present study is concerned with measuring and simulating the formation process of carbon black in a natural gas furnace. Carbon black concentrations in the furnace have been measured by the gravimetric method. Fluent CFD software has been employed for numerical predictions. A chemical reaction formulation relates the production of the carbon black to the incomplete combustion and pyrolysis of natural gas as the parent fuel. The influences of feedstock flow rate and equivalence ratio on carbon black furnace output are investigated. The results show that for relatively low feedstock flow rates, most feedstock hydrocarbon burns to CO, while for higher feedstock flow rates the decomposition of feedstock and formation of solid carbon is the dominant process and has an important role in the production of carbon black. The comparison of calculated results against the experimental measurements shows good agreement.
