Il gas naturale liquefatto o GNL
Una risorsa fossile ancora promettente
Il gas naturale liquefatto si ottiene condensando il gas naturale allo stato liquido, portandone la temperatura a -162°C e riducendone così il volume specifico di 600 volte. In questo modo può essere trasportato per mare su metaniere e riportato allo stato gassoso nei terminali di liquefazione. Oggi è la più pulita delle energie fossili.
Il gas naturale liquefatto è costituito per la maggior parte da metano (CH4), più dosi minori di idrocarburi come l’etano (C2H6) e il propano (C3H8). La sua (...)

Gaz naturel liquéfié ou GNL
Une ressource fossile encore prometteuse
Le gaz naturel liquéfié est produit à partir du gaz naturel condensé à l’état liquide en ramenant sa température à -162°C pour une réduction de volume par un facteur de 600. Il peut alors être transporté par mer par les méthaniers et ramené à l’état gazeux dans les terminaux de liquéfaction. Le GNL est aujourd’hui la plus propre des énergies fossiles.
Le gaz naturel est une ressource fossile constituée majoritairement de méthane (CH4) et en petite quantité d’hydrocarbures plus longs comme l’éthane (C2H6) et le (...)
