I’ve been in an LNG tank on a tanker, they have a weird environment with so many reflective surfaces, it sounds really weird in there. Accessed via a thin ladder, you have to be ultra careful not to drop anything - even a small scratch on any of that delicate tank lining means panels need to be replaced, and that’s super expensive.

[@PabloQPR]

@@identifyyourself5684 when I went in it was in dry dock so still had rigging too get around without damaging things. That rigging consisted of scaffolding and boarding so far as I could see, but there may have been other stuff but I’m not an engineer, I was a shore based operator visiting one of my ships. With only a small hatch to get in and out of it must’ve taken ages to get all the gear in and out again. As I understand it, even dropping the smallest of nuts or bolts could scratch the lining and potentially mean having to re rig the scaffold and replace the panel(s) affected. The tanker I was on had a 155,000 cubic metre capacity between 4 tanks, so each had a loading capacity of around 39,000M3 plus some ullage. It was very cool, at the time it was one of the most modern tankers of its type, and seemed way more futuristic than the crude and product tankers I was more used to.

[@N1lav]

Boil-off occurs when the LNG is first filled into the tank. Since the tank is at higher temperature than the liquid, the liquid stats boiling on contact. For ex: putting liquid nitrogen in a container, the nitrogen will keep boiling until the container is at equilibrium temperature as the liquid nitrogen. The same occurs with LNG. And since the gas gets pressurized inside the tank it can be directly injected to the engines for propulsion. Disel engines can run on LNG without any modification.

[@alcenofolchini6971]

Very interesting 👌

[@Bialy_1]

Normal diesel engines that are in trucks can use only 70% of diesel fuel with 30% of LNG and i would not call this type of fueling "without any modification"...

Everything you said here was bullshit.

[@blafoon93]

While natural gas emits less CO2 when burned, a big part of its impact on the climate is gas leaks during extraction, refinement and transportation. Natural gas is methane, which has a much higher climate impact than CO2 and since data on just how much gas is leaking was not available for decades and has only become a focus of study in more recent years we cannot even confidently say that natural gas is better for the climate than coal. Current estimates are that around 20% of the total extracted gas is leaked somewhere along the way before it is burned. That number is often higher for gas produced by fracking (like in the US) where it is estimated that already 12% are lost in the fracking extraction process or in Russia where the estimate of scientists (leaks of up to 18%) and those of Gazprom (less than 2%) are differing by a factor of 10. With data pointing more towards the estimate of international scientists it goes to show just how much we don't know or better how much we chose to ignore. Natural gas on average becomes worse than coal when more than 5% leak as unburned methane into the atmosphere. We need to fix gas leaks as much as possible if we want to rely on it as bridge technology and we need to make it clear that natural gas is by no means a 'cleanish' choice when it comes to climate change. That goes for economies all around the world but especially us here in the EU and Germany where we are heavily reliant on natural gas.

Impressive stuff, but the "on-budget" is surely to be taken with a grain of salt. In dictatorships like China and Russia things that the government is involved with are always "on budget" and "perfect" and "on time" etc.

[@tylerdurden3722]

I work in Marine engineering (mostly related to oil and gas projects). This is a semi privately funded project. And it has a significant portion of private and foreign investors. Dictatorial propaganda doesn't work on those investors. If this was a purely public project, it definitely would have been overbudget and delayed. Even in Russia and China most things are typically overbudget and delayed. Even private projects. Finishing early, they should have been under budget. In Russia, corruption is how you grease the gears of bureaucracy. My guess is that a lot of grease was applied to make things go faster.

[@HesderOleh]

@@tylerdurden3722 It probably means that they padded the budget to be able to hide bribes, and then people ended up easer to pay off than they thought, or the bribes came from other funds.

Natural gas may have fewer carbon emissions, but they are still there. And any leaks mean emitting methane - a much more potent greenhouse gas in the short term than carbon.

[@dianapennepacker6854]

Especially methane within the permafrost. I've read how dangerous methane under perma frost is. Also the whole sink hole deal. I've talked to a few cool Russians and they said global warming will help my home town. My neighbor is Russian and you couldn't get a better neighbor. They got shit on back when the Trump crap went on, and I told that person to go F off. Anyway there will never be a clean solution. Wish we could find out how to scrub the air.

I was referring to Russia and China only because of this specific context, in saying that these efforts are not to promote peace, only to make money. Canada actually has more oil reserves than the states and it's going to be a big struggle for us in the coming years when we are forced to slowly shift away from that sector of our economy. Eventually it will catch up to us and these $68 billion projects will be better spent elsewhere. I am aware that Russia is not the only country with this problem.

[@Borgia5119]

​@@diabolical8964 You have no idea where I stand politically on green initiatives, am I correct? Cobalt is used primarily to create rechargable batteries, and in the case that you're referring to, lithium ion batteries for electric vehicles. It is already know to anyone with half a brain that electric vehicles are not sustainable because lithium is limited and difficult to get. Not to mention that electric vehicles are not the only fix for reducing greenhouse gasses. I would say that YOU'RE the blind one here, as your obvious distain for anyone in favour of making changes to our energy systems immediatly clouds your judgment and turns the argument into a political ideologue.
