WEEKLY NATURAL/LPG GAS REVIEW




Siemens & Total Revolutionizing Gas Liquification
Siemens Gas and Power recently teamed up with Total, a broad energy group, to advance new concepts for green LNG production. Siemens Gas and Power will conduct studies to develop a variety of possible liquefaction and power generation plant designs, which have the potential for decarbonising the production of LNG.

 

The studies will be focused on important areas such as reducing the environmental footprint of LNG liquefaction facilities and the associated greenhouse gas emissions, plant reliability, maintainability, regulatory compliance, and development costs. Concepts such as the use of gas turbine- and electric-driven compression trains in conjunction with proven single-mixed refrigerant and double-mixed refrigerant technologies will be explored.

 

 

 

The $600 billion global gas market appears currently oversupplied considering the drop on demand globally. This is happening as storage capacity is reaching the peak. Experts anticipate a further movement of prices toward the negative regions in the coming weeks. Experts warn the dwindling prices will take years to reset.

 

Suppliers are also continuing to ease in recent days. Orders for United States Liquified natural gas for the summer period have been cancelled in droves. Particularly, orders from countries such as Malaysia, Brunei and Norway dropped in the previous month, when global LNG export growth halted years of expansion.

 

It is reported that the Japanese city of Tokyo experienced a fall in gas demand fell by about 10% in April and more than 20% in May, compared with a year ago, as COVID-19 forced hotels and restaurants to shut down and factories suspended operations, the head of a local industry body said.The $600 billion global gas market appears currently oversupplied considering the drop on demand globally.

How LPG is contributing to the growth of SMEs in Africas: Your One Stop LPG Provider

A crucial component of human life is energy. Reliable access to modern, reasonably priced energy is essential for a country's social and economic development. Traditional dirty-burning fuels used for cooking, such as coal, wood, and kerosene, produce large amounts of pollutants and carbon monoxide, which are the main contributors to indoor air pollution and its negative health impacts. Continual use of unclean fuels may result in early deaths, an increase in childhood and adult illnesses, associated environmental problems, and stress on the healthcare system, according to experts. Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) was found in the search for cooking energy that would protect our environment from pollution. LPG is a type of energy that is used in cooking. It is produced by refining raw natural gas or crude oil that comes only from fossil fuel sources. It is kept and moved in LPG cylinders at a reasonable amount of pressure as a liquid. Propane and butane make up the majority of the gases created during the LPG production process. The first online energy company in Nigeria, Kiakiagas, provides excellent, prompt, and safe delivery of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and related products to Nigerian households and businesses. The company has developed into an energy solutions provider, paving the way for a future in which gas will drive the switchover of the African energy sector from fossil fuels to renewable sources, bringing electricity to consumers in the last mile from urban to off-grid areas.

One of the main drivers of deforestation in Sub-Saharan Africa is the demand for firewood and charcoal as a source of cooking energy. Increasing the usage of LPG is one of the options for reducing the strain on forest resources. Cooking with biomass produces both greenhouse gas emissions and indoor pollution from black carbon. Kiakiagas has endeavor to reach different classes of people and orientate them on the benefit of LPG to their health.
