Research on Urban Bearing Capacity of Gas Supply Stations

Abstract

Given the continuous optimisation of the energy structure, the proportion of natural gas consumption in China increases annually, the urban gas pipeline network continues to extend outward, and the supply range continues to expand. Although an increasing number of users can use natural gas, the coverage of the natural gas pipeline network remains low in some areas in China. A “point supply” pattern, which provides gas through liquefied natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supply stations, has been developed to solve the problem of gas unavailability in areas not covered by the pipeline network. This pattern flexibly supplies gas, whose cost is low and market determined. Thus, the substantial development of these gas supply stations has been promoted. This pattern will continue to play an important role in the future. However, no unified standards for the construction of these gas supply stations have been provided, resulting in various problems, such as unreasonable location, inadequate management, potential risk and imbalance between supply and demand. On the basis of these concerns, this research attempts to study the urban bearing capacity of gas supply stations, provide some new ideas for the construction and planning of urban gas supply stations, and help promote sustainable urban development. The pressure–state–response model is adjusted to the pressure–state–capability model, which is used as a basis for proposing an evaluation index system and calculation models for the comprehensive evaluation of the urban bearing capacity of gas supply stations on city and country scales. The proposed methodology is used in a case study of urban agglomerations in the Yangtze River Delta.

Faktor–Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Konsumsi Gas di Indonesia

“…Sesuai dengan teori yang menjelaskan ketika pertumbuhan industri meningkat maka konsumsi juga akan meningkat, begitupun sebaliknya. Menurut penelitian Tan (2019) menjelaskan ketika jumlah industri atau kawasan industri di Chinna meningkat maka penggunaan gas sebagai bahan bakar untuk melaksanakan kegiatan industri akan semakin meningkat.…”

Research on the Safety and Security Distance of Above-Ground Liquefied Gas Storage Tanks and Dispensers

“…Due to its physical and chemical characteristics, LPG poses a severe hazard for humans and the surrounding infrastructure. Many countries have not developed uniform standards for gas filling station construction, which causes many problems such as inappropriate location, inadequate management, potential risk and lack of supply-demand balance [ 5 ]. The determination of a safe distance to liquid fuel filling station facilities requires knowledge of the potential causes of failures involving LPG, as well as understanding the complexity of the phenomena that occur during such failures and their effects [ 6 ].…”

Assessment of Petrol and Natural Gas Vehicle Carbon Oxides Emissions in the Laboratory and On-Road Tests

“…Due to the efforts to reduce CO 2 emissions, it is beneficial to adapt car engines to run on gaseous fuels such as LPG and CNG [48][49][50][51]. This may include not merely fitting CNG fuel supply systems in factory, but also adapting existing cars, including those with lower EURO emission standards, which constitute the largest share in terms of the age structure of passenger cars in e.g., Poland (Figure 1).…”
