A method is used to increase the energy content of a pipeline and other vessels that are designed to carry natural gas under ambient conditions, in a compressed state or in a liquefied state. Methane and other gas are used as the feedstock. Methane from natural gas fields, coal beds or derived from hydrogen reacting with coal are primary energy sources for this method. Also, this method could provide an abundant source for hydrogen production. Energy from hydrogen is used for fuel cell applications that generate electricity and power motor vehicles. This method is capable to increase the energy capacity of current natural gas pipelines and other storage and transport vessels. |
