A researcher is about to test a technology that he says could be a breakthrough for curbing greenhouse gas emissions from coal plants, natural gas generators and other industrial facilities.

For one, it does not completely eliminate the need for fossil fuels, because the associated electric generators use natural gas to supplement the energy from the stored compressed air.

The report, «Beyond Renewable Portfolio Standards: An Assessment of Regional Supply and Demand Conditions Affecting the Future of Renewable Energy in the West,» compares the cost of renewable electricity generation (without federal subsidy) from the West's most productive renewable energy resource areas — including any needed transmission and integration costs — with the cost of energy from a new natural gas - fired generator built near the customers it serves.

Thousands of small generators, including rooftop solar panels and facilities that extract energy from garbage or sewage, could feed into the system, replacing or complementing big coal, nuclear or natural gas plants, they say.

Power generators are turning away from coal for a host of reasons: In some instances natural gas is cheaper; many states are requiring utilities to generate a certain portion of electricity from renewable resources; individual cities (and even an entire Canadian province) have decided to stop purchasing electricity created by burning coal; and new Environmental Protection Agency regulations are making it more expensive and less economical to use coal plants.

While generators used more natural gas for electricity generation, overall CO2 emissions from natural gas were down because of lower gas heating demand this winter when temperatures were significantly above the historical average for the season.

The plants join a series of generators recently stricken by financial pressure primarily by competition from cheap natural gas, expanding renewable capacity, and lethargic power demand growth.

But Siemens, a supplier, gave some examples for a typical combined - cycle natural gas power plant, one that burns the fuel in a gas turbine to drive one generator, then makes steam from the exhaust to drive a second generator.

The current downward trend in coal - fired generation began in 2007, when increased U.S. production of natural gas (particularly from shale) led to a sustained downward shift in natural gas spot prices and increased generation from natural gas - fired generators.

Due to an increase in demand for natural gas for space and water heating, and limitations imposed by natural gas pipeline constraints, electricity generation from gas was unable to scale up, and the burden was transferred to oil as dual fuel generators switched over.

Traditional grids invented by Thomas Edison draw supplies from a handful of generators fueled mostly by coal, nuclear and natural gas plants, which can run around the clock.

I think you'd be much better off just drying and pelletizing the cellulosic material and using a syngas generator to produce carbon monoxide and then fuel your internal combustion engine directly from the CO which requires very little modification to the engine — about the same as the modifications required to run it from natural gas or propane.

The winter of 2012 - 13 saw spikes in wholesale electricity prices in New England and New York as demand for natural gas from both electric generators and natural gas distribution companies taxed the capacity to bring natural gas into these markets.

The state government will also introduce a new target requiring energy retailers to get more electricity from what it described as cleaner generators that produce their electricity using South Australia's abundant natural resources, whether this be from gas, solar, wind, biomass or graphite, which is used for batteries.

While before 2015 it was uncommon for natural gas generation to approach equivalent levels of coal generation, in March 2016 nearly 1.5 times as much electricity was produced from natural gas - fired generators as coal - fired generators.

The scenarios were all run for the winter season — Dec. 1 through Feb. 28 of 2024 - 2025 — and assumed no additional natural gas pipelines but accounted for demand reductions from energy efficiencies and rooftop solar power and the continued closure of coal and oil generators.

Theoretically, he says, we could produce all the electricity we need, with 90 % less carbon emissions, with a combination of scrubbed natural gas burning generators and wind energy from high - wind regime areas transported through high voltage direct current lines.
