In a context that requires a clean and efficient fuel, natural gas could play an important role in meeting the growing needs of transport in the world, says Shell Global.
In a study on the future of fuel, the oil company ensures that natural gas is in a stage of wealth due to the exploitation of unconventional resources.
According to the analysis posted on its website, this fuel offers the ability to move ships, trucks, buses and airplanes.
Shell notes that in Europe, and with new environmental regulations in North America, is required transport operators to reduce local emissions, so that the liquefied natural gas (LNG) becomes the ideal fuel to be free of sulfur and particulate.
Regarding the use of natural gas in road transport, Shell says that this fuel has the potential to offer significant savings in fuel costs compared to conventional diesel. It also stresses that as in the case of ships, can help reduce the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) from production to use, compared to conventional diesel and biodiesel in new engines.
Given this potential of natural gas, Shell focuses on the heavy transport sector in Canada and the United States, so that works to supply this fuel along a truck route in Alberta.
Here's Shell Global's web page on natural gas.
Natural gas offers an affordable and environmentally acceptable option to power people’s lives today. It will also help to meet the world’s rising demand for more, cleaner energy into the future. Shell is using advanced technology to open up new resources of natural gas. Cooling gas to liquid allows us to ship it to faraway markets and we are moving ahead to build the world’s first giant floating facility to turn gas to liquid. In Qatar, we have constructed the world’s largest plant to turn natural gas into liquid products.
