With a methane economy we could heat and cool our homes, produce electric power at home using a small gas turbine generator, and fuel our vehicles all from our own home tank at far lower cost than using gasoline.

How CHP works is by using the heat that would otherwise be wasted in exhaust gases from fossil combustion systems, such as flue gases from a coal - or biomass - fueled boiler or exhaust from a gas turbine or reciprocating engine, to produce steam and / or hot water for various industrial or commercial needs.

After the energy integration more than 30 MW of process heat is used directly for heating up the feed gas to the reactor R1 and for producing electricity via a steam turbine.

Fossil fuel electric generation: Electric generation in which the prime mover is an internal combustion engine or a turbine rotated by high - pressure steam produced in a boiler or by a hot exhaust gas produced from the burning of fossil fuels.

In Britain, in the short to medium term, that would mean building modern «dual cycle» gas power stations, which produce very clean energy and, unlike inefficient wind turbines, do not require subsidies to be economic.

Already competitive with electricity produced by coal and natural gas - fired power plants, GE is driving the cost of clean, green, renewable energy down further with its Brilliant line of wind turbines and power management systems.

These plants can produce power fairly consistently throughout the day because of the inertia of the turbine and the ability to burn natural gas when clouds roll in.

Hydrogen, produced from electricity when it isn't needed on the grid, which can be used to power a gas turbine to generate electricity

potential energy storage by deepwater or elevated reservoir is another scheme that looks great in theory, but can only supply a fraction of the standby energy produced by gas turbines for when neither solar or wind turbines are operating.

Adding wind and solar photovoltaic capacity to the grid may require augmenting the amount of peak - load plants, which can be done relatively cheaply by adding gas turbines, which can be fueled by sustainably - produced biofuels or natural gas.

When electricity is needed (for example, when the wind is not blowing), the compressed air is released, heated, mixed with natural gas, and burned in a turbine to produce electricity.

The wind turbines themselves would cover 57 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean, yet would produce slightly less electricity than a «new baseload 350 MW gas - fired combined cycle generating unit,» which would «occupy only a few acres.»

«Although it is probable that introduction of wind power onto the grid produces a net reduction in carbon dioxide emissions, it is possible, or even likely, that a grid based entirely on gas turbines would actually produce carbon emissions that were lower still.»

Waste heat from the gas turbine is recovered to create steam which drives a steam turbine, producing more electricity — hence a combined cycle system.

The gas is then cleaned to remove impurities, such as sulphur, and the syngas is used in a gas turbine to produce electricity.

One question that occurs to me when considering the characteristics of wind and solar generated electricity, is why waste the billions of dollars needed to build, operate and transmit from wind and solar farms when gas turbines that produce 80 % of the renewable production?

Producing electricity from wind - driven turbines (windmills) is widely recognized as more costly than producing electricity using coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear energy or hyProducing electricity from wind - driven turbines (windmills) is widely recognized as more costly than producing electricity using coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear energy or hyproducing electricity using coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear energy or hydropower.

Second, heat recovered from these gases, with additional firing, is the source for producing steam that drives a steam turbine.

Wind turbines generate electricity without polluting the air, emitting greenhouse gases, or producing waste of any kind.

Combined cycle: An electric generating technology in which electricity is produced from otherwise lost waste heat exiting from one or more gas (combustion) turbines.

On average those greenhouse gases are offset by the clean power the turbines produce within 9 months of operation.

* Mechanical power, derived from the turbines, is applied directly through a speed increaser to an internal gearbox / generator, or to a hydraulic pump that in turn drives an on - shore hydraulic motor and generator * Requires no dams nor impoundments * Poses no threat to the environment, nor to water quality * Produces no by - products while in operation - clean and pollution free (no greenhouse gases) * Harmless to marine life and allows safe fish passage
