our team contact us site map	Nanotechnology to Revolutionize Natural Gas Industry Summary posted by Meridian on 11/1/2007 Source: AZoNano.com Author: n/a Researchers from the University of Wyoming in the U.S. say that nanotechnology could present several opportunities for the natural gas industry, but that its use is hindered by lack of innovation in the industry, a perception of high cost, and a lack of awareness about nanotechnology. The researchers say that carbon nanotubes and porous engineered nanomaterials could be used to improve the efficiency of extraction in gas fields and other sources of natural gas. Additionally, they say that other nanomaterials could potentially be used to improve purification and storage of hydrocarbons, as well as for environmental remediation of pollutants.
