Noida Joins Indian CNG City Bus List

March 30, 2007 – 6:00 pm

India, Noida

A lack of compressed natural gas (CNG) refuelling facilities hasn't stopped India's city of Noida from joining the ranks of cities with compressed natural gas (CNG) public bus fleets. Indian Express reports that the UP State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) launched a 30 bus fleet yesterday to service the city, despite the fact that the city only has two CNG refuelling stations currently. Some of the buses will refuel in nearby Delhi until such time as refuelling infrastructure increases locally.

US DOE Announces Major Methane Hydrate Find

March 29, 2007 – 6:00 pm

The U.S. DOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL).announced that drilling tests in Alaska's North Slope have revealed "staggering" deposits of gas hydrates that could contain 200,000 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of natural gas. To put this in perspective, the U.S. consumed just 23 Tcf of natural gas last year.  This field alone would increase America's natural gas reserves by a factor of 100.  Gas hydrates are ice-like solids that result from the trapping of methane molecules within a lattice-like cage of water molecules. Dubbed the "ice that burns," this substance releases gaseous methane when it melts.
