Transcript: Here are some Pictures that are appliances that are powered by Natural Gas. Then there are some Diagrams Definition of Natural Gas Use As a Fuel •Widely used, contributes 21% of the world’s energy production today •Delivery infrastructure already exists •End use appliances already widespread •Used extensively for power generation as well as heat •Cleanest of all the fossil fuels •Burns quite efficiently •Emits 45% less CO2 than coal •Emits 30% less CO2 than oil http://www.pge.com/microsite/safety_esw_ngsw/ngsw/efficiently/uses.html The Negatives ?The Question? •Furnaces •Pool and Spa Heaters •Clothes Dryers •Outdoor Lights •Barbecues •Water Heaters •Stoves/Ranges •Fireplace Logs •Patio Heaters and Fire Pits The Positives If we Continue using Natural gases will it drastically change our planet? Different Types Of Natural Gas photo credit Nasa / Goddard Space Flight Center / Reto Stöckli To release the energy held in the gas, it is burned. This produces a large amount of heat, which is put to various uses. At homes, natural gas is burned and the heat used directly, in cooking or temperature control. In natural gas plants, the heat is used to power large turbines known as combustion turbines, or turn steam turbines by heating water. Natural Gas It is an ideal fuel for many applications: •Residential - cooking, heating and hot water •Commercial – cooking, heating, drying and hot water •Industrial - processing and manufacturing •Power generation – in power station turbines and cogeneration plants •Transport – as a fuel for vehicles such as trucks and buses Natural gas is well …naturally occurring gas. It forms naturally from decayed plant and animal matter compressed over millions of years far below the earth's surface. Natural gas is a popular fuel choice because it burns cleaner, hotter, and brighter than other fossil fuels like coal and oil. It is also a known for having no toxic or chronic physiological effects (that is, it is not poisonous). Exposure to a moderate concentration may result in a headache or similar symptoms due to oxygen deprivation http://www.naturalgas.org/overview/uses.asp How it Generates Electricity These are Extra Pics Bibliography Naturally occurring hydrocarbon gas (Natural Gas) mixture consisting primarily of methane, with other hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and hydrogen sulfide. Appliances Natural gas itself is even more powerful at causing global warming than CO2 (about 20 times more powerful!) so if there are any leaks in a natural gas supply, this will cause big problems to the global climate. Natural gas is getting more and more expensive, and we are currently using more and more of it. There is only a limited supply of it, and once it's gone it's gone. Considering this, it also has a very bad effect on the economy as well as its effects on the environment due to global warming. By Jacky, Alex, Ian, Vikram and Daniel Appliances

Transcript: By Lesley Brooks Pictures of natural gas/uses Arrow!!!! Availability The U.s. only has a limited amount of natural gas left. We have about 4,711 tons left. That's not very much, compared to other countries. Russia is the country with the most natural gas reserve. Russia- 42,300 tons of natural gas reserve. Iran- 24, 021 tons of natural gas reserve. Methods of Collection/Production Natural gas is stored underground in wells. First, scientists use seismic surveys to find the spot to drill. One they find a promising spot, they drill. When gas is found, it flows through the well to the surface. From here, the gas is carried by pipes to the plant. Here is a video of how a natural gas plant works! Location Natural gas is found in Texas, California, Louisiana, New York, Florida and Illinois. In Wyoming, it is mostly found in Sublette County. There are lots of natural gas plants and places to drill in this area. Recommendation Natural gas has many good reasons for use. It costs 3.9-4.5 cents per kwh, which is cheap compared to other types of energy, such as nuclear (11.1-14.5 cents per kwh.) It also provides much energy. There are many great reasons to use natural gas, but there are also many downfalls. A few reasons that natural gas isn't that great of an energy source, is that it's nonrenewable, it is bad for the environment and its hard to collect. First, it's nonrenewable. This means that there is only a limited amount left. Once we run out, it's gone. The U.S only has 4,711 tons left! Second, natural gas is bad for the environment. It can cause pollution from burning it and erosion from building power plants. Finally, it is hard to collect. You have to find where it is underground, and that can be a pain. Other resources are a lot easier to collect. Natural gas does have positives, but it has more negatives. Based on all of these things, I can say that I do not recommend natural gas. The U.S should reduce the use of it because 1. it's nonrenewable, 2. it's bad for the environment and 3. it's hard to collect. The world is going to run out of natural gas soon, so we need to stop depending on it's source of energy.

Natural Gas

Transcript: Natural Gas Natural Gas -consists primarily of methane -found in coal beds -is an important fuel source of major feedstock and fertilizers It is a non-renewable resource History of Natural Gas - Natural Gas has been around for millions of years but it wasn't until recently that we figured out how to get it to the surface and use it. Years ago people couldn't figure out what is was and when it seeped to the surface and started on fire, they couldn't explain it. Natural Gas comes from deep under the earth.Sometimes with oil deposits. It is recovered by drilling into the ground and being piped up into storage tanks. When the methane burns it reacts with oxygen and creates thermal energy. The energy in natural gas is stored as chemical potential energy. Uses -power generation -residential use (heating and cooking) -used to power vehicles (burns cleaner than gasoline) -used to make ammonia fertilizer and hydrogen Minnesota Uses Over 2/3 of Minnesota households use natural gas for heating during winter. Advantages of Natural Gas -Cheap -Natural -Most homes use it so its popular Disadvantages -Highly flammable -toxic if you inhale too much -Non-renewable resource Natural Gas and the Economy -The natural gas industry supports nearly 4 million jobs and adds more than $385 billion to the national economy Natural Gas and the Enviroment -Burns more efficiently than hydrocarbon fuels or electricity -Burns cleaner than hydrocarbon fuels because its composed mostly of methane which is a light compound The future of Natural Gas Natural Gas will start to replace old coal plants to reduce greenhouse gases. People say that natural gas is the bridge to a no-carbon future. Fun Facts 1.When natural gas is cooled to 260 degrees below zero it changes from a gas to a liquid 2.Natural Gas is colorless and odorless, but utility companies add the smell of rotten eggs to help make the gas more noticeable 3.There are more than 1 million miles of underground gas pipelines across the US Sources http://naturalgasw.a.tripod.com/id9.html http://www.lowimpactliving.com/pages/your-impacts/natural-gas2 http://web.mit.edu/mitei/research/studies/naturalgas.html
