2. Gas-fired power plant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-fired_power_plant

   A gas-fired power plant, sometimes referred to as gas-fired power station, natural gas power plant, or methane gas power plant, is a thermal power station that burns natural gas to generate electricity. Gas-fired power plants generate almost a quarter of world electricity and are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions. [1]

3. Gasoline gallon equivalent - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasoline_gallon_equivalent

   One GGE of natural gas is 126.67 cubic feet (3.587 m 3) at standard conditions. This volume of natural gas has the same energy content as one US gallon of gasoline (based on lower heating values : 900 BTU/cu ft (9.3 kWh/m 3 ) of natural gas and 114,000 BTU/US gal (8.8 kWh/L) for gasoline).

4. Fossil fuel power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fossil_fuel_power_station

   Rarely used generator sets may correspondingly be installed as natural gas or LPG to minimize the fuel system maintenance requirements. Spark-ignition internal combustion engines operating on gasoline (petrol), propane, or LPG are commonly used as portable temporary power sources for construction work, emergency power, or recreational uses.

5. Propane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane

   Propane is much more commonly used to fuel vehicles than is natural gas, because that equipment costs less. Propane requires just 1,220 kilopascals (177 psi) of pressure to keep it liquid at 37.8 °C (100 °F).

6. Natural gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas

   It shows the various unit processes used to convert raw natural gas into sales gas pipelined to the end user markets. The block flow diagram also shows how processing of the raw natural gas yields byproduct sulfur, byproduct ethane, and natural gas liquids (NGL) propane, butanes and natural gasoline (denoted as pentanes +).

7. Cogeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogeneration

   The fuel used is typically natural gas. Gas engine CHP plants use a reciprocating gas engine, which is generally more competitive than a gas turbine up to about 5 MW. The gaseous fuel used is normally natural gas. These plants are generally manufactured as fully packaged units that can be installed within a plantroom or external plant compound ...
