Natural Gas: An Alternative to Petroleum?
Crabtree, R. H. Chem. Rev. 1995, 95, 987-1007American Methanol Institute, 2000
Natural gas reserves: ~ 60 years Petroleum reserves: ~ 40 years
Combustion of natural gas releases more energy per gram than that of petroleum
Combustion of natural gas releases more energy per CO2 molecule than that of petroleum
Approximately twice the amount of natural gas produced for consumption is vented or burned at its source
Pressurization and refrigeration required for liquefaction (bp -164 °C)
Largest reserves located in remote regions of the world
