Activities to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Natural Gas Operations2000
PDF, 671KB Download Now
Increased reliance on natural gas will create many opportunities, but many challenges as well. The main challenge is that expansion of the natural gas market will result in increased emissions of methane (CH 4 ), a potent greenhouse gas. The level of increased emissions is a function of the industry maintenance practices and technologies used to produce and deliver natural gas. While the global climate change debate has focused on carbon ... More>>
Alternative Transportation Fuels: Natural Gas Implications2008
PDF, 2MB Download Now
The INGAA Foundation, Inc. retained BBI International (BBI) to analyze the natural gas implications for future alternative fuels plants. This analysis looked at current and future biofuels plants and quantities and estimated thermal energy loads. Increased crop production to supply biofuels plants and the resulting increases in fertilizer requirements was reviewed. This study also evaluated alternative thermal energy sources for biofuels ...

An Updated Assessment of Pipeline and Storage Infrastructure for the North American Gas Market - 2004 Update2004
The North American natural gas industry is facing a critical period over the next 10 to 15 years. Since 2000, the balance between natural gas supply and demand has tightened substantially. A number of important events have occurred recently in natural gas markets contributing to the tightening including: A decline of excess natural gas productive capacity or elimination of the “gas bubble”. The construction of over ... More>>

This report presents the results of a program of analysis and study performed during 1991 on Clean Air Act regulations which impact the natural gas transmission industry. This program is sponsored by the Interstate Natural Gas Association of America Foundation. The objectives of this work program are to enhance understanding and response of the gas transmission industry to air regulatory issues which affect the installation and operation of ... More>>
Avoiding and Resolving Intergovernmental Conflicts with Interstate Natural Gas Facility Siting, Construction, and Maintenance2005
PDF, 804KB Download Now
The INGAA Foundation Inc. commissioned ENSR International (ENSR), an environmental consulting firm, to undertake a study to identify potential solutions to conflicts that sometimes arise between regional, federal, state, local, and/or tribal governing entities when siting, constructing, and maintaining interstate natural gas pipelines. This study was conducted between March and December 2004. According to a recent INGAA Foundation Study, ... More>>
Backup Fuel Assessment for Natural Gas Powered Turbines Used in Electric Power Generation2001
PDF, 560KB Download Now
More than 500 new gas-fired generation projects are in various stages of consideration or development around the country. The capacity of these proposed projects totals some 280,000 megawatts, an increase of more than 35 percent of the currently installed U.S. capacity base of 750,000 MW. Yet many of these projects contain no plans for backup fuel capacity to replace the baseload fuel of natural gas. This trend continues, even as gas price ... More>>
BLM and U.S. Forest Service Rental Valuation Impact Study2001
Recent right-of-way rental fee proposals by the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) could increase fees for natural gas pipelines by more than 100 times, which could negatively impact national security, the successful implementation of the U.S. National Energy Policy and U.S. living standards. In 1999 the BLM issued a proposed rule abandoning the traditional linear fee rent method, where rent is calculated based on the area of ... More>>
Carbon Pollutant Emission and Engine Performance Trade-Offs vs NOx Emissions for Reciprocating Internal Combusion Engines Fitted with Enhanced Mixing Combustion Technologies Utilitzed in Gas Transmision Service2004
Pending and/or proposed Federal and local regulations have generated increasing interest in trade-offs between emissions of NOx versus CO, THC's and in particular HAPS. The Pipeline Research Council International (PR C I) commissioned Advanced Engine Technologies Corporation (AETC) to compile a database of engine emission and performance data for typical two and four stroke cycle lean burn reciprocating engines in gas transmission service and ...
