California is committing to a plan that will make it the first US state to phase out gas-fueled furnaces and water heaters in homes, a move environmentalists are betting will provide a template for other states. The Golden State will ban the sale of all new natural gas-fired space heaters...
Heat pumps: This is really the way to go. As I said above, natural gas is really a fossil gas, it’s not natural at all (even if you buy “renewable natural gas” – see myfossil gasarticle for more on that). Heat pumps have a number of advantages over natural gas furnaces: high...
The United States has more than 119 million homes, and 47% of them rely on natural gas as their primary heating fuel. However, most U.S. homes still use noncondensing units with an annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) of 锝 80%, rather than efficient condensing furnaces. This is ...
Natural gasis a fossil fuel formed when layers of buried plants, gases, and animals are exposed to intense heat and pressure over thousands of years. The energy that the plants originally obtained from the sun is stored in the form of chemical bonds in natural gas. Natural gas is a nonren...
It was used to generate electricity, heat buildings, fuel vehicles, heat water, bake foods, power industrial furnaces, and even run air conditioners!ADVERTISEMENT Natural gas consumption by residential and commercial customers: Residential and commercial demand for natural gas is highest in the winter...
ALBANY, N.Y.— New York state is banning natural gas stoves and furnaces in most new buildings, a policy that's part of a national movement aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The law negotiated byGov. Kathy Hochuland her fellow Democrats in the Legislature is part of the state b...
Commercially, natural gas is emerging as a fuel of choice for industrial and process heating. It offers a more efficient, cleaner burning alternative to coal for powering boilers, furnaces and kilns around the world. Steel, ceramic and other energy intensive industries ...
摘要: Fig. 1. Change in the concentration of C02, CO, CH4, H 2 and carbon in a dry reformed natural gas as a function of the coefficient of air consumption. 1) At 1000-1100~(reformers UPI-SMZ); 2) at 600 3) at 20 (reformers designed by Giprosial and VNIIGAZ)....
The way U.S. cities move around natural gas may be contributing more to climate change than anyone appreciated: The pipes are leaking, and some are leaking a lot. About a third of the natural gas we consume is delivered to homes and businesses, where it fires appliances like f...
natural gas included a single day in January that sent demand to nearly double the average daily consumption, according to the American Gas Association. That pushed the average bill for gas customers up 10 percent over the year before—mostly due to gas furnaces working overtime, the AGA said...
