Methane, commonly known as “natural gas,” can be sold in a number of different forms.
Regardless of whether it’s coming from the ground or coming from renewable processes, methane can be stored, moved, and used in two forms: compressed natural gas or liquefied natural gas . The really cool thing about LNG is that it takes up 600 times less space per unit of energy compared to CNG. This allows it to be transported, often by ship, to places that pipelines normally couldn’t reach .
Sapphire Technologies tries to do the same thing with gas pipelines, recovering excess pressure energy and converting it into electricity instead of generating heat or other waste energy.A 3-Way Deal Powers Data Centers From Waste Pressure Energyover the next 3 years as part of a nationwide clean energy project.
“This exciting partnership provides us an opportunity to tap into the US market using our turboexpander technology with Tallgrass Energy,” said Freddie Sarhan, CEO at Sapphire Technologies. “Our partnership with this industry leader will help them decarbonize while deploying clean energy solutions across the United States.”
