For power generation applications, the investment costs are cheaper than combined cycle combustion turbine plants (in 2003, the Energy Information Administration estimated that the cost of a combined cycle plant was US$500–550/kW, as opposed to the SCCT cost of US$389/kW [1]), but at reduced efficiency. SCCTs require smaller capital ...
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is a fuel gas mainly composed of methane (CH 4), compressed to less than 1% of the volume it occupies at standard atmospheric pressure.It is stored and distributed in hard containers at a pressure of 20–25 megapascals (2,900–3,600 psi; 200–250 bar), usually in cylindrical or spherical shapes.
Brayton cycle engines compress and heat air with a fuel suitable for an internal combustion engine. For example, burning natural gas or biogas heats compressed air, and then a conventional gas turbine engine or the rear portion of a jet engine expands it to produce work. Compressed air engines can recharge an electric battery.
The first such system to come online was the Archimede combined cycle power plant, Italy in 2010, [25] followed by Martin Next Generation Solar Energy Center in Florida, and in 2011 by the Kuraymat ISCC Power Plant in Egypt, Yazd power plant in Iran, [26] [27] Hassi R'mel in Algeria, Ain Beni Mathar in Morocco.
As of 2022, the partnership has supported a 5-generator, 20 MW micro-grid powered by natural gas, and a 3 MW solar array that provides 100% of the airport's electricity needs. [ 20 ] [ 25 ] [ 23 ] In May 2022, CNX announced a partnership with Pittsburgh International Airport to produce compressed natural gas and hydrogen onsite to create ...

A free-piston gas generator is a free-piston engine whose exhaust is used to power a gas turbine. It combines the functions of compressor and combustion chamber in one unit. These machines were quite widely used in the period 1930–1960 but then fell out of favour. [1]
Renewable natural gas can be produced and distributed via the existing gas grid, making it an attractive means of supplying existing premises with renewable heat and renewable gas energy. Renewable natural gas can also be converted into liquefied natural gas (LNG) or compressed natural gas (CNG) for direct use as fuel in transport sector.
