CH4 Facts: Foundry

May 12, 2022

CH4 Facts Graphics

In this post, we delve further in to automotive manufacturing: Let’s discuss the foundry where usable forms of aluminums, metals, and steels are made using intense heat. The energy source for generating that heat is typically an oil and gas product. Every vehicle on the road is powered by oil and gas. If you have a specific question, send us a message, or plan to join us at the Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable, May 2-4, 2023 at the David Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, PA.

CH4 Facts: Vehicle Production

April 28, 2022

CH4 Facts Graphics

Since the very beginning of car production, manufacturers relied heavily on the oil and gas industry during the production of the vehicles. Let’s start with the interior — long gone are the days of the metal dashboards. Manufacturers are now using safer plastic versions and those plastics are made using products from the oil and gas industry. The carpets, seat covers, and seatbelts are made using nylons and polyesters created from oil and gas products. And glass is manufactured with oil and gas products. The list goes on… If you have a specific question, send us a message or plan to join us in 5 days at the Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable, May 3-5, 2022 at the David Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, PA.

ExxonMobil estimates hydrogen and carbon capture sequestration as $3 trillion dollar market by 2050

  • How does this fit into the existing and evolving US energy landscape?
  • What are some of the projects proposed and underway?
  • How is the US government incentivizing investment?

What are the opportunities for the industry?


Tom Gellrich, President and Founder of H2-CCS Network is one of the pioneers in identifying opportunities in hydrogen and carbon capture sequestration. He is also CEO and Founder of TopLine Analytics which identifies the downstream impacts of the Shale Gas revolution in chemicals, plastics and manufacturing sectors. His presentations and white papers have been extensively quoted and received international attention.
 
He began his career as a Chemical Engineer with ExxonMobil designing ethylene and propylene compressors. At Total-Arkema, Tom held a variety of positions in Strategic Planning, Business Management, and Business Consulting. He was instrumental in founding Elemica, a B2B service for the chemical industry, where he served as Managing Director, European operations.

CH4 Facts: Lubrication

April 21, 2022

CH4 Facts Graphics

The squeaky wheel gets the grease…. even on electric vehicles. All vehicles require lubrication. Combustion engines rely more heavily on lubricants than EV’s, but both require assembly and maintenance lubes as part of the manufacturing process and ongoing operation. From wheel bearing grease to motor oil, all vehicles rely on the oil and gas industry. If you have a specific question, send us a message or plan to join us at the Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable, May 3-5, 2022 at the David Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, PA.

CH4 Facts: Tire Emissions

April 14, 2022

CH4 Facts Graphics

In this CH4 Facts post, we are going to shift gears (pun intended) and look at vehicles. Car culture and the freedom it brings is a huge part of what defines America, and that freedom is powered by the oil and gas industry. In our next series of posts, we will discuss materials, manufacturing, consumption, and emissions related to automobiles. To start with though, did you know that emissions from tires are 1,000 times worse than exhaust emission when compared by volume? If you have a specific question, send us a message or plan to join us at the Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable, May 3-5, 2022 at the David Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, PA.

CH4 Facts: Paint

April 7, 2022

CH4 Facts Graphics

As we continue to discuss the nature of natural gas uses in the home environment, let’s look at paint. William Cowper wrote that “Variety is the very spice of life,” and it’s most evident in our color choices, including every shade of paint from an emo teenager’s favorite color to the neon paint schemes of the 1980’s. The brushes, rollers, sprayers, and painting supplies can all be traced back to an oil and gas input. If you have a specific question about the uses of natural gas, send us a message, or plan to join us at the Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable, May 3-5, 2022 at the David Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, PA.

CH4 Facts: Flooring

March 31, 2022

CH4 Facts Graphics

Continuing our review of natural gas uses, this week we’re going to look at flooring. Regardless of the choice of material, the oil and gas industry is heavily involved. From a fuel source for the kilns used to dry porcelain, ceramic, brick, and wood flooring, to the feed stock for carpet and padding manufacturing. From the structural components for building like concrete and lumber, to the finishes like polyurethane and stain preventative, oil and gas are required. Even the process of mining to delivery of natural stones like travertine, granite, and marble, oil and gas are necessary every step of the way. If you have a specific question, send us a message or plan to join us at the Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable, May 3-5, 2022 at the David Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, PA.

CH4 Facts: Creature Comforts

March 24, 2022

CH4 Facts Graphics

What makes a home a home versus “roughing it?” It’s the creature comforts we’ve come to enjoy. We have discussed heating your home, insulating, building, and cooking, but we haven’t discussed the other appliances. On-demand water heaters are more efficient than tank water heaters. Dual fuel refrigerators are common in RVs and campers in the U.S., but in other areas, they allow for reliable food and medicine storage where the power grid is unreliable. Natural gas dryers are also an option. And gas-fueled lighting can add an authentic charm straight out of New Orleans. If you have a specific question, send us a message or plan to join us at the Eastern Gas Compression Roundtable, May 3-5, 2022 at the David Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, PA.

CH4 Facts: Fasteners

March 17, 2022

CH4 Facts Graphics

Who would have thought that natural gas would have so many uses in the home? Let’s talk fasteners — they literally hold your life together and are everywhere, from securing your walls to the foundation to holding your roofing material on, and everywhere in between. Screws, nails, clips, ties, bolts, and a myriad of other devices hold your home together, and natural gas fuels the manufacturing of those components.

CH4 Facts: Insulation

March 10, 2022

CH4 Facts Graphics

Today, we’re offering more food-for-thought surrounding uses for natural gas in the home. While we can all make the logical leap that natural gas is commonly used to heat homes due to the cost saving versus heating with electricity, what about other products to help keep your house warm? Natural gas plays a key role in the production of insulation and sealants — preventing air leaks and proper insulation both make heating your home even more affordable, all courtesy of natural gas.
