Natural gas infrastructures play a key role in the transition towards new energy model, with high share of renewable energies, both ensuring firm capacity electric power systems and integrating all vectors. The European Union (EU) strongly depends on external natural suppliers is thus particularly vulnerable. In event supply problems due to phenomena, technical failures or other threats, cooper...

regarding to the escalating trend of environmental pollutions, especially air pollution in great city of tehran, the perspective and study of the conditions for supply and consumption trends of fuels, with specific to fossil fuels, can lead to formation of significant figures and data. on the other hand, recognition, and if possible, reformation of environmental management schemes in the supply...

The objective of this research paper is to create a public awareness in understanding the radon gas problem, discuss efficient data management methods and analyses of indoor radon gas concentrations, and mitigate the indoor radon gas concentrations to below acceptable level in the state of Ohio. The Ohio Radon Information System (ORIS) is a compendium of five databases or modules, viz. the “Hom...

a r t i c l e i n f o Natural gas is increasingly important as a fuel for electric power generation as well as other uses due to its environmental advantage over other fossil fuels. Using the World Gas Model, a large-scale energy equilibrium system based on a complementarity formulation, this paper analyzes possible future gas cartels and their effects on gas markets in a number of regions acro...

Under pressure toward carbon emission reduction and air protection, China has accelerated energy restructuring by greatly improving the supply and consumption of natural gas in recent years. However, several issues with the sustainable development of the natural gas industry in China still need in-depth discussion. Therefore, based on the fundamental ideas of sustainable development, industrial...

This paper presents a game-theoretic analysis of multimarket competition with capacity investments, applied to international gas markets. It identifies a strategic advantage of «focused» pipeline gas producers (e.g., Gazprom) over «diversified» multimarket exporters of liquefied natural gas (e.g., Qatar). Based on this, the paper examines the spillover impacts of the Fukushima nuclear accident ...

Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A const...
