Shay, have you heard of this before? It may sound like a fancy science word, but it is actually pretty cool and important! Liquefied methane is natural gas that has been cooled to an extremely low temperature, transforming it into a liquid. In this lesson, we'll discuss what liquefied methane is what uses we can have of for clean energy how it's good for the environment different ways to use it and how it goes from the ground to our homes.
Liquefied methane is a type of natural gas that occurs deep underground or in the ocean. It is comprised of small pieces called molecules that have carbon and hydrogen. It is one of the cleanest forms of energy we have! Liquefied methane, which is cooled to approximately minus 161 degrees Celsius, is a clear liquid with no smell. This liquid natural gas is easier to transport and store than regular natural gas. That is why it is an excellent option for running homes, automobiles, or even to produce electricity.
On the plus side with liquefied methane, is that it can serve as clean energy. When we burn it, it produces far less pollution than other fossil fuels, such as coal or oil. This enables us to take care of our environment and combat climate change. Companies like AGEM are working hard to look for ways to deploy liquefied methane for clean energy which will be so that we can all have a healthier planet.
There are many environmental pluses to using liquefied methane for energy. For one, it emits less of the greenhouse gases that contribute to the warming of the planet than many other fossil fuels, which helps make the air cleaner and combat climate change. Then there is the fact that LNG is a renewable resource. This means we cannot run out of it, as we might with some other fossil fuels. The more gas we can liquefy, the more we can do to preserve our planet for future generations.
The uses of liquified methane are myriad. It can be used to fuel cars, to heat homes and buildings and even to produce electricity. And as a liquid, liquified methane is easier to move and store than its gaseous cousin, so there are lots of potential uses too. This versatility makes liquid methane a useful commodity which can contribute to our energy requirements in an environmentally acceptable manner.
Gaseous methane travels great distances from the rock in which it is kept, below the ground or within the ocean, to the stovetop or factory. It is sucked out with special tools and pipes and then cooled to turn into a liquid. Then it is transported in special tankers to where it is needed. Companies like AGEM are among those helping ensure liquefied methane is safely produced and transported, for everyone around the globe to use this clean and productive form of energy.
