  2. Natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas

    Natural gas burning on a gas stove Burning of natural gas coming out of the ground. Natural gas (also called fossil gas, methane gas, or simply gas) is a naturally occurring mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons consisting primarily of methane (95%) [1] in addition to various smaller amounts of other higher alkanes.

  3. Compressed natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_natural_gas

    Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a fuel gas mainly composed of methane (CH 4), compressed to less than 1% of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure.It is stored and distributed in hard containers at a pressure of 20–25 megapascals (2,900–3,600 psi; 200–250 bar), usually in cylindrical or spherical shapes.

  4. Natural-gas condensate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural-gas_condensate

    The natural gas condensate is also called condensate, or gas condensate, or sometimes natural gasoline because it contains hydrocarbons within the gasoline boiling range, and is also referred to by the shortened name condy by many workers on gas installations. Raw natural gas used to create condensate may come from any type of gas well such as ...

  5. Substitute natural gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitute_natural_gas

    In this way, the production of renewable gas can be phased in at the same rate as the production capacity is increased. The gas market and infrastructure the natural gas has contributed with is a condition for large scale introduction of renewable biomethane produced through anaerobic digestion or gasification and methanation bio-SNG.

  6. Natural gasoline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gasoline

    Natural gasoline is a liquid hydrocarbon mixture condensed from natural gas, similar to common gasoline (petrol) derived from petroleum. The chemical composition of natural gasoline is mostly five- and six-carbon alkanes ( pentanes and hexanes ) with smaller amounts of alkanes with longer chains. [ 1 ]

  7. Petroleum product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum_product

    A petrochemical refinery in Grangemouth, Scotland . Petroleum products are materials derived from crude oil as it is processed in oil refineries.Unlike petrochemicals, which are a collection of well-defined usually pure organic compounds, petroleum products are complex mixtures. [1]

  8. Carbon-neutral fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon-neutral_fuel

    Carbon-neutral fuels can lead to greenhouse gas remediation because carbon dioxide gas would be reused to produce fuel instead of being released into the atmosphere. Capturing the carbon dioxide in flue gas emissions from power plants would eliminate their greenhouse gas emissions, although burning the fuel in vehicles would release that carbon ...

  9. Syngas to gasoline plus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syngas_to_gasoline_plus

    Natural gas and other methane-rich gases, including those produced from municipal waste, are converted into syngas through methane reforming technologies such as steam methane reforming and auto-thermal reforming. Biomass gasification technologies are less established, though several systems being developed utilize fixed bed or fluidized bed ...
