Gas and Energy Crisis
INTRODUCTION
Energy has a very big importance in the development of any country. Unfortunately, our country is facing a big crisis of Energy since last few years. And we are very keen to find some renewable method to produce energy which would be cheapest, durable and ecological. One of such method is “Bio-Gas’’ power plants.

Energy is one of the major inputs for the economic development of any country. In the case of the developing countries, the energy sector assumes a critical importance in view of the ever-increasing energy needs requiring huge investments to meet them.

Our Project is to build a Biogas Plant in the town of Kalas Sharif located in South East of Sargodha in the Province of Punjab with a population of 358 people. Of the 86 households spread across the town, at least 71 live below the poverty line. The majority of the population here are agricultural workers and every household owns livestock.

In this Project first of all we will make estimation about the overall expenditures on this project. After this our first practical work should be to locate a suitable location which is near the town as well as at a good place. And it should fulfill the requirements needed for a good biogas plant. Then we will make an arrangement for garbage NATURAL GAS
In this Chapter we will explain that why we use Natural gas as a major source of Energy. And why we are facing the shortage of Natural Gas.

Our country depends upon mostly on water resources to produce Energy. Due to some global changes our country is facing deficiency in water resources. So we started to produce energy from Natural gas.

Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is a substitute for gasoline (petrol) or diesel fuel. It is considered to be an environmentally "clean" alternative to those fuels. It is made by compressing methane (CH4) extracted from natural gas. It is stored distributed in hard containers, usually cylinders.

CNG has grown into one of the major fuel sources used in car

    Biogas or bio-methane can be used as an alternative source of energy produced through oxygen free (anaerobic) digestion of organic matter in which organic material is processed into a liquid effluent and combustible biogas rich in methane. Generally, biogas contains 55% – 80% methane and 20% - 45% carbon dioxide (CO2). Reliant on the source of organic material and the managing of a anaerobic digestion system, small amount of other gases such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), ammonia (NH3), and water vapor (H2O) may be created. Specifically, the methane component of the biogas will be fit for producing energy. (1) The methane can be utilized to produce heat, electricity, or both. For example, the methane can be used in in a gas engine to produce electricity, heat the digester, or burned in a conventional gas boiler to produce heat for a nearby apartment complex. (3)…

    In the world we live in, the human population is dependent upon a seemingly endless list of objects and resources. The list consists of certain necessities that have been required since the dawn of man, including food, water, shelter, but the list is always increasing. In the past couple centuries it seems as if the list has increased at an exponential rate, adding staggering degrees of technology, sources of communication, and of course energy. One of the major sources of energy is natural gas.…

    North America has been the leader in developing and producing hydraulic gas. Other countries such as China, Germany, Canada and Australia are now joining the trend. In an article by the Energy Information Administration states that 25% of the nation’s electricity is generated by natural gas. Also, that 46% of the new generating capacity added to the grid by 2035 will come from natural gas (EIA). Most of this natural gas will be produced right here in U.S. The scientists at U.S. Geological Survey states that natural…

    Natural Gas is a good, clean source of energy for many uses. It does not pollute the atmosphere and is increasing in popularity. With fossil fuel sources depleting, natural gas is becoming more looked at as a new main energy source. There is a large quantity of natural gas held within the layers of shale underground and only recently new technology was developed that can release the gas from the shale in a process called fracking.…

    The energy industry in its entirety involves the production and sale of energy, fuel extraction, manufacturing, refining and distribution. As our society consumes enormous amounts of fuel, the energy industry becomes more of a necessity to the infrastructure and maintenance of civilization worldwide. Indeed energy use is considered to be one of the most significant factors to the expansion of the human society in almost all countries as it is the aid to the control and adaptation to the environment. Managing the use of energy is definitely unavoidable as development of its resources is crucial to various industries such as agriculture, transportation, communication, and etc.…

    In the near future the increased need for natural gases will have provided lots of jobs and will have opened up work for many people. The USA is now getting the natural gas we need from our country. Between 2007 and 2011 the amount of natural gas imports could be decreased by 25%. In the far future, natural gas prices will have dropped because of the now increasing supply. Also it was stated in the ucsusa website that, “Dramatically expanding the use of natural gas to generate electricity creates numerous and complex risks for our economy, our health, and our climate.” Land where fracking could take place will cost more, affecting local economies…

    At the turn of the twentieth century, the United States used coal, oil, and wood as a natural resource to produce energy. Around the beginning of the twenty-first century, those same energy resources are routine today as they were a hundred years ago. The U.S. has refined our ability to use new sources of energy that we have discovered over the last hundred years. However, “Annual consumption of petroleum and natural gas exceeded that of coal in 1947 and then quadrupled in a single generation. Neither before nor since has any source of energy become so dominant so quickly” (“Peacock”). With time the population’s need for more energy was in high demand.…

    Natural gas is extremely useful in our lives. We need natural gases to heat our houses and use microwave ovens, conventional ovens and stovetops. Because the economy currently isn’t well off – and hasn’t been recently – natural gases are now in higher demand for cheaper prices. Oil and gas drilling facilities are now making it possible for natural gases to be sold at extremely cheap prices and accessible amounts through the process of hydraulic fracturing. Before, the United States had to import energy sources, but now, thanks to hydraulic fracturing, the United States can export energy.…

    There are many ways to get energy; natural gas, and it is a better cleaner source. According to Ed Rendell “natural gas has half the carbon emission and no sulfur dioxide, mercury or particulate matter” (NY Daily News). People used other resources like wood and coal for fuel, heating, and power generation. Although wood was a used for power generation and space heating in the 1800s, coal has more heat per pound, and the amount of energy produced was more than what wood produced. Although coal and wood are good, reliable sources, natural gas is cleaner. According to the article History of Energy Use in the United States “natural gas was cleaner fuels than coal and it was easier to transport, store and handle in many applications” (geology). Fracking is a great way to get natural gas, and has helped the citizens of the United States by increasing job…

    Energy is very important, especially for the people of the United States. It has become an integral part of our lives and we have grown dependent on it. Therein lies the problem, however, because the more we use it, the less there is. We have to find alternative forms of energy before it is gone and we are left high and dry. Not only is our sources decreasing, it is also polluting our beautiful world. Reducing the use of energy and finding alternatives is our only choice when considering the future of America. Cheap gas may sound great right now but once it is gone, it is gone for good. We cannot be selfish and only think of the now, we must look to the future and preserve our resources so that our grandkids will have a good life. We have made…
