US Natural Gas Ticks Down on Mild Weather, Growing Surplus (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
US natural gas futures fell slightly as weather forecasts shifted warmer, indicating slightly lower demand for the heating and power-plant fuel. Expectations that domestic stockpiles will move higher above the five-year average may also be putting pressure on prices....

"We're On Borrowed Time": Vitol LNG Chief Warns Of Coming Food Price Shock
Pablo Galante Escobar, the head of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at Vitol, warned the audience at the FT Commodities Summit earlier today that the "world is on borrowed time" and that the Gulf energy shock will develop into a food crisis unless LNG flows resume through the Hormuz chokepoint.
"We are on borrowed time. Every day this trade remains closed and every day production does not come back, we are building a problem for the future, and we are building a problem that, as I said, will be transferred from the energy side into many different sectors, with the food sector being a very important one," Escobar said, who works world's biggest independent energy trader.
Escobar continued, "This is not sustainable, or the energy crisis will become a food crisis. Only gas can supply the feed for fertilizers. We are building a problem for the future."
He added that even if the Hormuz c...

US Chemists Turn Natural Gas Into Liquid Fuel Without High Heat And Pressures
Authored by Prabhat Ranjan Mishra via Interesting Engineering,
Chemists in the United States have discovered a new way to turn natural gas into liquid fuel.
The team from Northwestern University has successfully converted methane directly into methanol in a single step. They harnessed tiny bursts of plasma — or mini “lightning bolts” — in glass tubes submerged in water.

Using pulses of high-voltage electricity
“We're using pulses of high-voltage electricity,” said Northwestern's Dayne Swearer, the study's corresponding author.
“If the electrical potential is high enough, lightning bolts form inside of our reactor the way they do during a summer thunderstorm. We're taking advantage of that chemistry to break methane's bonds without heating the entire system to extreme...
