20 Nov Take A Closer Look
Our revolutionary E|ONE, a private home generation appliance, provides electrical power and space and water heat for the average home, typically fueled by natural gas or propane.
Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of natural gas.
Burning natural gas to produce energy results in fewer emissions than burning petroleum or coal. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, about 117 pounds of CO2 are produced per million BTUs of energy generated, compared with 160 pounds per million BTUs of fuel oil and 200 pounds per million BTUs of coal.
Plus the available supply of natural gas is abundant, with the amount in storage at the end of last month at a near record high – nearly 4,000 billion cubic feet.
Nor will we soon run out of natural gas supplies – there are about 2.8 trillion cubic feet of technically recoverable resources of dry natural gas in the United States, enough for decades to come. And advanced technologies like satellites, advanced seismic processes, and GPS will allow us to discover reserves while drilling fewer wells.
All these supplies are brought to you by three million miles of mainline and other pipelines, a supply chain – most of it buried underground and safely away from storms and fires – that serves 75 million U.S. customers.
And while the price of natural gas is a matter of supply and demand, over the last 15 years, a general increase in production has led to more than a threefold decrease in citygate pricing (the price at which a utility receives the gas from a pipeline company).
The infrastructure is in place to allow millions of home owners to power there homes with clean, plentiful natural gas with the E|ONE system – on or off the grid, with or without solar. It’s technology worth a deeper dive.
