subject: Gas: Energy At Your Fingertips ... And Wallets [print this page] When carrying out a renovation or new construction of a heating system are many factors that contribute to the final choice of the fuel on which to invest and where they hope not to throw their money. One of these types of fuel on which much research aimed not only for its efficiency but also for being "green" and not pollute as other forms is certainly natural gas, better known as methane.
Methane gas is an energy carrier is completely natural and non pollutant that is extracted from underground drilling through soil in the same place where is the field and transported to end users through a network of underground pipes which limit the inconvenience and the danger. Some types of natural gas as well as underground can also be found in the earth's surface with the ideal conditions for example in the area of swamps and marshes or in charge of farms in these cases, however, takes the name of biogas. With this type of energy source can do almost anything: heat, heat water, cook in various ways, generate electricity and power the movement of cars. A source of energy used in virtually all fronts that can preserve the environment, because as I said, completely natural.
Its transport through underground pipes sometimes requires coverage of long distances and to ensure integrity along these paths are installed compressor stations. Natural gas is virtually one of the few that is used as energy is extracted and thus its efficiency as a primary energy is higher than the 90% which is passed exclusively from hydro. The advantages of natural gas as an energy source for our home and then not only many advantages: the absence of transformation processes and then not put toxic substances into the environment, transport underground and therefore more economical and less polluting, the its non-toxicity to humans, animals, soil and water, its being free of sulfur and nitrogen organic and non-waste disposal needs.
All economic and ecological benefits that become more than that to see the environment we see also in our wallets: the tires do not require transport significantly reduces the cost and being 100% natural plant maintenance costs become much lower than theaverage. Energy saving becomes clear when you apply the energy saving due to condensation and the modulation technique and heat recovery and combined with other renewable energy sources, very stimulated and become widespread. Natural gas also has no storage costs and the supply is provided by all companies providing such services.
And certainly we should not worry about his presence in nature that is certified natural gas reserves so far found in nature are sufficient to meet human needs for the next 100 years!
