CH4 +2 O2--> CO2 + 2 H2]]> 2017-02-02 07:45:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cinnamonlane1/641z4xymswm9/wish/151053806 Advantages https://padlet.com/cinnamonlane1/641z4xymswm9/wish/151054112 -Can be efficiently and safely stored
-More environmentally friendly compared to other fossil fuels and 60-90% less smog-producing pollutants
-most natural reserves are under utilised.

-highly volatile and can be dangerous if handled carelessly 
-leak detection is difficult, as it is colourless, odourless and tasteless ]]> 2017-02-02 07:52:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cinnamonlane1/641z4xymswm9/wish/151055027 Energy Content jonathanmnguyen https://padlet.com/cinnamonlane1/641z4xymswm9/wish/151089267 Methane produces 899 kJ of energy per mole ]]> 2017-02-02 10:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cinnamonlane1/641z4xymswm9/wish/151089267 Uses in society jonathanmnguyen https://padlet.com/cinnamonlane1/641z4xymswm9/wish/151089449
  • Natural gas is a major energy source that counts for about 20% of the worlds energy supply. 
  • Natural gas can be a supply of energy for electricity production, heating (for water and cooking) and industrial purposes such as H2 gas production for powering fuel cells and creating ammonia for fertiliser
    • ]]>     2017-02-02 10:46:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cinnamonlane1/641z4xymswm9/wish/151089449     Questions https://padlet.com/cinnamonlane1/641z4xymswm9/wish/151102209 - is it possible to run out of natural gas, and if so, how much longer will it last?

    -as natural gas is a fossil fuel, is it more beneficial for the environment to burn that rather than other fossil fuels, such as coal?
