By itself, abundant shale gas unlikely to alter climate projections

ScienceDaily: While natural gas can reduce greenhouse emissions when it is substituted for higher-emission energy sources, abundant shale gas is not likely to substantially alter total emissions without policies targeted at greenhouse gas reduction, a pair of Duke researchers find. If natural gas is abundant and less expensive, it will encourage greater natural gas consumption and less of fuels such as coal, renewables and nuclear power. The net effect on the climate will depend on whether the greenhouse emissions...

Petrochemical alchemy: Cheap gasoline and plastics, produced from cheap and abundant natural gas, is almost here
2014-01-15 15:12:23| Extremetech
Siluria, after five years of research, seems to have finally stumbled across a cheap method of converting natural gas into gasoline. Because natural gas is much more abundant and less in demand than crude oil, it's only one fifth of the price -- about $20 for the natural gas equivalent of a $100 barrel of crude. After Siluria's conversion process, it may be possible to halve the price of gasoline and other oil-derived products (commodity chemicals, plastics). The best bit: Due to Siluria's rather unique research methods, it has no idea why or how its process works -- only that it appears to work rather well.

Guardian: In most respects Gazprom's Prirazlomnaya oil platform has little in common with the small drilling rig which stood, for a while, near the English village of Balcombe. The giant Russian structure, pieced together from parts of a disused North Sea oil operation, stands miles offshore in the ice infested waters of the frozen arctic. Cuadrilla's attempt sat amidst a Christmas tree plantation near a brook and a small country lane. But both were instantly seen as something new. The past decade has...
