Overview

"Methane is the most abundant biofuel on the planet. Fully embracing natural gas for transportation is paving the highway back to hydrogen. We must transition away from the liquid fuel addiction that was bestowed upon us, and CNG is the training ground to get back to hydrogen, the first fuel used in an Internal Combustion Engine in an Automobile. The patent was issued in 1809.

"We can do the natural gas for automobiles. Texas alone flares the amount of natural gas annually that could support a large percentage of the entire transportation fleet of the USA. We do not need to import LNG, which is dangerous and deliberatly rapes the resource form foreign countries to pad the pockets of oil men. The hard part is displacing 20% of the grid electrid with wind. We will need wind, solar and all the renewables to do that." -- Tai Robinson, July 22, 2008

Technologies

• Landfill Gas: A Growing Fuel Source for Distributed Energy Applications and the Grid (http://distributedenergy.com/de_0805_landfill.html) - Owned by Allied Waste Inc., the Valley Landfill Inc. uses methane created by the landfill to power advanced generator set technology. At present, Coffin Butte contains 280 extraction wells on the site, varying in depth from 40 to 120 feet for the vertical wells.(Distributed Power; May/June 2008)

• Solar > SHEC Labs / Hydrogen > Grand Opening - The City of Regina Hosts Ribbon Cutting Ceremony of their State of the Art Landfill Gas Collection System (http://www.shec-labs.com/press_releases/2007-11-02.php) - System for collecting methane from landfill and venting it has been installed. [The next phase will pair the mathane with SHEC's technology to convert the methane to hydrogen gas.] (SHEC; November 2, 2007)
