Use of natural gas

The use of natural gas is mainly in industrial fuel, process production, natural gas chemical industry, city gas industry, compressed natural gas vehicles and so on.

1, industrial fuel

Natural gas is used instead of coal for heating in factories, production boilers and gas turbine boilers in thermal power plants. Natural gas power generation is an effective way to alleviate energy shortage, reduce the proportion of coal-fired power generation and reduce environmental pollution. From the perspective of economic benefits, natural gas power generation units have less installed investment, short construction period, low on-grid electricity price and strong competitiveness.

2. Process production

Such as baking paint production line, tobacco drying, asphalt heating and insulation, etc.

3. Natural gas chemical industry

Natural gas is the best raw material for making nitrogen fertilizer, which has the characteristics of less investment, low cost and less pollution. The average proportion of natural gas in raw materials for nitrogen fertilizer production in the world is about 80%.

4. Urban gas industry

Especially residential fuels, including conventional natural gas, and two kinds of unconventional natural gas, coalbed methane and shale gas. It is mainly incorporated into the pipeline after production, and natural gas is used daily. With the improvement of people's living standards and the enhancement of environmental awareness, the demand for natural gas in most cities has greatly increased. The economic benefit of natural gas as a civil fuel is also greater than that of industrial fuel.

5. Compressed natural gas vehicles

Replacing automobile oil with natural gas has the advantages of low price, less pollution and safety. According to the statistics of the International Natural Gas Automobile Organization, the average annual growth rate of natural gas vehicles is 20.8%. There are about1270,000 vehicles using natural gas in the world, and the total number will reach 70 million in 2020, most of which are compressed natural gas vehicles.
