2. Gas heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_heater

   A gas heater is a space heater used to heat a room or outdoor area by burning natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, propane, or butane. Indoor household gas heaters can be broadly categorized in one of two ways: flued or non-flued, or vented and unvented .

3. Furnace (central heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Furnace_(central_heating)

   High efficiency condensing gas furnaces typically achieve between 90% and 98% AFUE. [3] A condensing gas furnace includes a sealed combustion area, combustion draft inducer and a secondary heat exchanger. The primary gain in efficiency for a condensing gas furnace, as compared to a mid-efficiency forced-air or forced-draft furnace, is the ...

4. Micro combined heat and power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micro_combined_heat_and_power

   Sold by various gas companies and as of 2013, installed in a total of 131,000 homes. Manufactured by Honda using their single cylinder EXlink engine capable of burning natural gas or propane. Each unit produces 1 kW of electricity and 2.8 kW of hot water. [38]

5. Propane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propane

   Propane's per-BTU production of CO 2 is almost as low as that of natural gas. [28] Propane burns hotter than home heating oil or diesel fuel because of the very high hydrogen content. The presence of C–C bonds , plus the multiple bonds of propylene and butylene , produce organic exhausts besides carbon dioxide and water vapor during typical ...

6. Gas to liquids - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_to_liquids

   The World Bank estimates that over 150 billion cubic metres (5.3 × 10 ^ 12 cu ft) of natural gas are flared or vented annually, an amount worth approximately $30.6 billion, equivalent to 25% of the United States' gas consumption or 30% of the European Union's annual gas consumption, [13] a resource that could be useful using GTL. Gas-to ...

7. Liquefied petroleum gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefied_petroleum_gas

   LPG is composed mainly of propane and butane, while natural gas is composed of the lighter methane and ethane. LPG, vaporised and at atmospheric pressure, has a higher calorific value (46 MJ/m 3 equivalent to 12.8 kWh/m 3) than natural gas (methane) (38 MJ/m 3 equivalent to 10.6 kWh/m 3), which means that LPG cannot simply be substituted for ...

8. Cogeneration - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cogeneration

   This hence still emits CO 2 (see reaction) but (temporarily) running on this can be a good solution until the point where the hydrogen is starting to be distributed through the (natural gas) piping system. Another MicroCHP example is a natural gas or propane fueled Electricity Producing Condensing Furnace.

9. Power-to-gas - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-to-gas

   Power-to-gas (often abbreviated P2G) is a technology that uses electric power to produce a gaseous fuel. [1]Most P2G systems use electrolysis to produce hydrogen.The hydrogen can be used directly, [2] or further steps (known as two-stage P2G systems) may convert the hydrogen into syngas, methane, [3] or LPG.
