Natural Gas Reserves
The combustible part of natural gas (NG) consists mainly of methane (CH4) with some admixture of heavier hydrocarbons (ethane, propane, and butane). However, frequently noncombustible gases are found mixed with NG, namely, N2 and CO2. For example, the recently discovered gas fields off the coast of the Indonesian archipelago contain up to 70% by volume [...]

Pollution against environment
As we have describe it in previous articles, the rapid increase of technology, and transportation sector have consumed more natural earth energy. Those energy not entirely got no side effect, green house effect, air pollution, etc. are some examples of the side effect. Most of those pollution are coming from industry sector. To address the [...]
