Methane

Immense abundance of methane(CH4) from the ocean floor can affect climate globally. The atmospheric methane concentration has gone up by about 150% since 1750. Wide-ranging methane seeps that were identified along the Atlantic Margin contributes to an excellent experiment for this global climate and methane relation. With the operation of multibeam water-column backscatter info, it becomes possible to analyze 94,000 km^2 of the ocean floor to classify hundreds of gas plumes up to 1,700m depth on

which destroy the environment. Consequently, the construction of such facility reeks of air pollution, untrustworthy practices, and the potential to ruin the entire Rio Grande Valley. Purification of methane is straightforward and manageable when it is in a liquid state, which purifies to be 98% methane, compared to past purification methods that only go up to 95%.

Methane 1. Methane was first discovered by Alessandro Volta in 1778 while on summer vacation at Lake Maggiore in Italy. He noticed large bubbles of gas coming to the surface from the stirred up sediment of the lake, when he poked the muddy bottom of the water with a stick. He collected them for further experimentation and discovered it was inflammable. He called it inflammable air from marshlands [1]. Methane is created naturally near the Earth's surface by microorganisms by the process of methanogenesis

which I have chosen will be the methane rocket. In order to test this experiment I must have the correct equipment and follow the method correctly. The equipment and chemicals for this will be:  Goggles for eye protection  Ear defenders  A rubber bung for the bottle to fit in.  A soft drink bottle capacity between 300cm3 and 500cm3 (Coca-Cola 0.5L bottle).  A measuring cylinder.  Rubber tubing for the gas tap to fit into.  Gases (such as oxygen and methane, these are the reagents for the

unprecedented regulation of the oil and gas industries by ordering the reduction of methane emissions in the United States by 40 to 45 percent within the next ten years. Such a drastic alteration would significantly change how natural gas is produced and consumed and transform the entire electric industry in the country, potentially shifting its reliance on fossil fuels to renewable sources of energy. Though methane constitutes only nine percent of emissions, far less than carbon dioxide, it has over

shatter summer records; this is the reality of artic and sub-arctic climates around the globe. Permafrost regions of the arctic naturally release methane from the sea, ice and soils. However, exacerbation by global warming has caused methane to be released at a greater rate than previous decades/centuries. In 2013 it was estimated that 17 million tonnes of methane was released by land based arctic permafrost, a fourfold increase from 2006 estimates. The EPA estimates 620 million tonnes were released in

Article #1: Owen, Oliver S. "The heat is on; the greenhouse effect and the earth 's future." The Futurist Sept.-Oct. 1989: 34+. Academic OneFile. Web. 30 Nov. 2015. Summary: Oliver S. Owen who is a professor of biology at the University of Wisconsin wrote an article on the impact of global warming and how the greenhouse gasses effect the warming of the globe. This article mainly focuses on the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide and how it is produced and can be eliminated from society. Carbon dioxide

damaging than experts thought. Natural gases are primarily composed of methane gas (CH4), gases which are 35 times the potency of carbon dioxide and traps much more heat radiation. The United States alone is responsible for 30% to 60% of global growth in human-caused methane emissions in the past 14 years (Magill 2016). During the process of extraction and transportation of natural gases, is where the problem resides. Methane leakage occurs from processing plants and storage facilities becoming a

Part A Carbon Based Fuels and Uses A carbon based fuel is any type of fuel thats energy is derived from the burning of carbon or the oxidation of it. There are two main types of carbon based fuels, Fossil fuels such as coal and Natural gas or Bio Fuels e.g Bioethanol. Bio fuels are procured from recent-growth of organic matter, the matter is harvested from crops or the cutting down of fast growing trees and proceed into biofuels. Fossil fuels are from a prehistoric basis which the organic matter

location and surroundings. In an area where houses are nearby methane is normally burned off in a flare to produce a less poisonous gas, rather than venting pure methane. When methane is released from the flow-back and flaring is not an option, it is vented into the atmosphere. The methane is vented at a very high pressure in order to be lighter than air; this allows the air to dilute the methane to below an explosive concentration. Methane has an explosive limit of 5.0 percent by volume therefore
