DISTRIBUTED COGENERATION FACILITY USING GAS HYDRATE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a distributed cogeneration facility increasing the supply of thermal energy by safely and efficiently transporting natural gas to remote areas. SOLUTION: A natural gas hydrate c generated in a natural gas hydrate generation facility 21 provided in a liquefied natural gas receiving station or the like is transported using a transporting container 15 to the distributed cogeneration facility 21. At the distributed cogeneration facility 21, the natural gas hydrate c is intermittently fed from the container 15 into a high pressure container 22. The natural gas hydrate c in the high pressure container 22 is decomposed into fuel gas a' and water by use of reducing water heated by the air-conditioning load of an air-conditioning facility 23, and the high pressure fuel gas a' generated is fed to gas-consuming equipment 25 such as a gas turbine.
