Natural gas become particularly active in the fields of natural gas and natural gas infrastructure, a trend started in 2005 by the formation of Scotia Gas Networks in the UK by OMERS and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan. Another way to store natural gas is adsorbing it to the porous solids called sorbents. The best condition for methane storage is at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The used pressure can be up to 4 MPa (about 40 times atmospheric pressure) for having more storage capacity. The most common sorbent used for ANG is activated carbon (AC). Three main types of activated carbons for
Natural gas in Bolivia Natural gas in Bolivia Natural gas in Bolivia is one of the nation's main energy sources and export products. Bolivia's proved natural gas reserves are estimated to be 24,800,000,000,000(ft³) (1 January 2009 est.). Most of these reserves are located in the eastern region of the country. The major export pipelines in Bolivia transport the gas to Argentina and Brazil. In 1994 the natural gas sector was privatized, and it was subsequently re-nationalized in 2006 by current president Evo Morales after popular protests during the 2005 Bolivian gas conflict. “Bolivia’s economic history reveals a pattern of a single-commodity focus”, diversification has
