Our Lives Depend on Natural Gas

Posted on: Wednesday, September 10, 2014

The Office of Fossil Energy in the U.S. Department of Energy recently published a classroom poster, Common Products Made from Oil and Natural Gas, that asks the question, “Did you know most of this stuff comes from oil and natural gas?”

National climate report emphasizes importance of natural gas and shale

Posted on: Tuesday, June 3, 2014

In early May 2014, in conjunction with the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP), the Obama administration released its 2014 National Climate Assessment. According to USGCRP, the purpose of the National Climate Assessment, which is conducted every four years, is to summarize the current and future impacts of climate change on the U.S. It is produced by more than 300 experts who are directed by a 60-member Federal Advisory Committee.  

Increased natural gas use decreasing U.S. greenhouse gas emissions

Posted on: Tuesday, June 3, 2014

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has released their latest Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) data report, updated to Sept. 1, 2013. The report shows that U.S. greenhouse emissions have continued to decline, in keeping with the trend that began in 2009. 

Do you consume natural gas?

Posted on: Wednesday, February 26, 2014

Actually, this is a trick question, because you do. If you live in the United States, you definitely use natural gas – hundreds of times a day. How so, you say?

The most well-known uses of natural gas are for heating homes and providing fuel for water heaters. Some backyard grills burn natural gas. But even if you don’t use any of these, you still consume natural gas.

The unreliability of renewable energy for baseload demand

Posted on: Monday, January 27, 2014

Renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, have their benefits, and they are great sources of intermittent power; however, as contributing Forbes writer David Blackmon highlights, these renewable energy sources of electric power generation are not reliable. If the sun is not shining or if the wind is not blowing, then there must be a backup power source to avoid frequent blackouts. Renewable energy sources are not able to supply baseload power generation – meaning they cannot supply a region’s continuous energy demand.

Regulation in the oil and gas industry

Posted on: Friday, August 23, 2013

There are many myths circulating about the supposed lack of regulation in the oil and gas industry. In a Forbes article, "Shale Oil And Gas Development Is Heavily Regulated," David Blackmon confronts these false accusations head on. Blackmon argues against Josh Fox's claim in the documentary film "Gasland" that the oil and gas industry is somehow above or exempt from federal environmental regulations. Blackmon says, "Mr. Fox continues to make this false claim – often referring to it as the Halliburton Loophole – despite it having been completely and thoroughly debunked."

NGVs in Texas

Posted on: Tuesday, April 30, 2013

Natural gas has a long history as a reliable fuel source for home heating, industrial manufacturing and electrical generation. However, securing long-term supplies has always been tied to the discovery and development of conventional “oil and gas reservoirs” that over time became more difficult and expensive to find and often occurred in environmentally or politically sensitive areas throughout the world. For many years, there was very little interest in building “new markets” for the use of natural gas because long-term domestic supplies could not be guaranteed.

Natural gas is a “natural” transportation fuel

Posted on: Tuesday, April 30, 2013

The United States is a world leader in many areas, but using natural gas as a transportation fuel is, unfortunately, not yet one of them.

The Changing CNG/LNG Landscape - By Dr. Ken Morgan

Posted on: Friday, April 5, 2013

It is now obvious that domestic and global energy companies are beginning to believe in unconventional shale-gas and potential markets in the U.S. In just a few short years, we have seen Exxon-Mobil, Shell, Chevron, BP and others buy out some independent producers in major shale plays. We have also witnessed countries such as France, India, Italy and China investing heavily in the U.S. gas shale business. China alone has spent close to $30 billion in acquisitions and investments over the last 2 years in North America (Wall Street Journal, 2/26/2013).

Natural gas is fueling a clean energy future

Posted on: Tuesday, March 26, 2013

Until recently, burning of coal generated the majority of the electricity in the United States; however, as of 2012 – and for the first time in history – energy production from natural gas fired power plants has equaled that of coal production. According to the graphic below, the U.S. Energy Information Agency says that energy sector CO2 emissions have dropped to 1992 levels. This dramatic decrease makes greenhouse gas production levels the lowest in 20 years.
