Abstract
Recently the global environmental problem has been conspicuous and serious and the use of natural gas as a clean energy source is expected. This is a report of the survey made on commission from Agency of Natural Resources and Energy, which aims to grasp the present status of natural gas utilization technology and to make a preliminary evaluation of economical efficiency. Examination and study are made in terms of conversion (manufacture), utilization, economical efficiency (energy cost). Results of the study on the current status from a viewpoint of utilization, for example, are as follows: relating to the use as methanol, usability of natural gas is high such as for electric power generation, fuel cells, an automotive fuel and manufacture of MTBE (methyl-tertiary-butyl ether) from methanol. Relating to the direct use, LNG utilized for a fuel of the combined cycle power generation is most promising and expected to increase. Expansion of LNG vaporization heat recovery is also large expectation. The use of CNG (compressed natural gas) has been extending in other countries. On a long-term basis, there is a possibility of producing synthetic fuels in natural gas producing countries and exporting some of them. 63 refs., 93 figs., 89 tabs.
