True Lies of Complicated Gas, Marketing Secrets, Slogans that are Complex.

Bakken Ville is Williston, Watford City to Dickinson and the Missouri River of North Dakota.

60,000 people cannot be wrong.
Natural Gas is complicated and complex and has 18 different gases when it is mined.
So the Natural Gas has some slogans that are not true when you buy it. 
Mined Natural Gas is Complicated Gas. 
Complicated Gas cannot be directly used to build Anhydrous Ammonia.

Teddy Roosevelt built a cattle empire along the Little Missouri River in the heart of Bakken Ville.
Bakken Ville is now one the greatest polluters of CH4 in the United States.

Complicated Gas escapes in the atmosphere constantly from the mining operations. Mining of Fossil Complicated Gas results in a 33% loss to atmosphere of the methane portion of the total mining operations. This is one reason why Oil and Gas corporations must borrow money at very high interest rates. About 6% higher percentage points as compared to wind powered energy companies that build Green Play Ammonia. Gas deposits are hard to find and exploration is risky.

Complicated Gas is not Zero Carbon. Complicated Gas is not sustainable. Complicated Gas still has a future similar to other fossil fuels such as Coal Oil that have faded away.

Some natural gas miners going after Complicated Gas must be very careful of the emission from the new well. Poisonous and deadly Complicated Methane Gases are found in many gas fields. They must be immediately flared.

Complicated Gas is so complex that each gas field requires a refining facility with 25,000 horsepower compressors to separate the gases with temperature and pressure.  This is a form of distillation of 18 different gases from Propane, Ethane, Butane, Helium to Argon, Neon, to Sulfur based gases. Many of the complex gases are bottled up and sold as welding gas. Many of the inert and complex gases head for industrial processes.

Methane Gas is what the Gas Company sells to heat your house or sends via a large pipeline to the ammonia plant in the heart of the Great Plains and Hugoton Gas Field. CH4 is methane and it is not anywhere close to being a clean fuel as promoted by the oil field miners.

Factoids.

• CH4 is mined from the Vaduz to 12,000 feet from the fossil period to build 99.9 per cent of all the Anhydrous Ammonia is Canada and the United States.

• Coal and Natural Gas Builds Grey and Blue Ammonia in North America.

• The opposite story is now being told in Japan, Australia and even Saudi Arabia. Green, Zero Carbon, Ammonia is built daily and shipped over oceans.

• Ammonia will be green and it will grow to 1,800 million metric tonnes in 20 years…a 10 times growth.

• Green Ammonia is built with Zero Carbon using current Wind, Water and Sun inputs.

• Haber Bosch Processing was originally designed 105 years ago at the TVA Wilson Dam with Green Zero Carbon inputs.

• Renewables are also used in the process of Ammonia manufacturer.

• Renewables are also used without mining the earth and adding more carbon.

• Renewables tie up carbon into sinks of organic carbon.

• Renewables recycle existing carbon allowing better management of the grass land and the forest.

WHERE IS METHANE COMING FROM?

Studies of the isotopic signature (carbon dating) of methane building up in the atmosphere suggest that it has a variety of sources.
Most of the increase in emissions seems to be biological, rather than having been released from below Earth's surface during the extraction of fossil fuels.

Complicated Gas is CH4 or Methane. The term Natural Gas is a slogan that confuses many people.

It is totally unclear how to use Complicated Gas in the future due primarily to the mining losses and transport to the end user.

As reported by the World Bank. Oil producers face significant challenges capturing, storing, transporting, and distributing associated gas, and the cost of ending all routine flaring could be as much as $100 billion.

Anhydrous Ammonia and the connection to Nitrous Oxide.
Super Saturated Soils, NO3 laden soils, and Water.
Cows gain better when there is miniscule nitrous oxide emission.

How to look for Nitrous Oxide with sensors proposed and available?
The hot spot of Nitrous Oxide might follow methane concentrations in wet areas and anaerobic production.  
The Rosetta Stone of Nitrous Oxide is Methane concentration.
The massive land mass of Nitrous Oxide is east of North Platte Nebraska to Ohio and Ontario. From Manitoba to Gulf of Mexico.  
Luck helps but a scientific endeavor will find the management problem.  

1. Wetlands, Fertilizer Runoff. Highly Likely.  Maybe 20 to 100 times greater than nominal due to fertilizer runoff of NPKS.  Lake Erie, Gulf of Mexico.  
2. Fossil Fuel Extraction, Not Likely.
3. Livestock, Likely at Lagoons, Fogging Systems and large manure piles that are not aerated.  Maybe and maybe not…since it is aerobic process in
    some cases. The loss depends on how the manure is handled.  
4. Landfills and Ag Waste, Highly Likely since it is an anaerobic system. Maybe 20 to 100 times greater than nominal.
5. Natural Seeps Geological Release. Not Likely.
6. Rice Cultivation, Highly Likely. Rice is an anaerobic system with top dress Urea, loaded with CO2 or Ammonium Chloride which is loaded with 
    chloride. Maybe 100 to 1000 times greater than nominal depending on the fertilizer choice and the timing of it.
7. Burning of Plant Matter, Not Likely
8. Termites and other wild animals. Not Likely.

• Manure Processing forming composted materials including Lime to supercharge bacterial growth.
• Keeping up an anaerobic digestion on the land is highly probable.

Management is the problem, Not the necessarily the chemical complex of Nitrous Ammonias.
The answer for Methane and Nitrous Oxide emission is found in agricultural in the United States.
The Great Carbon Sink of 400 million managed acres can be the secret solution to a world.
Many other continents and stewards of the land will need to follow.

You can feed cows and calves Zero Carbon, Ammonia in real time at much reduced rates of NPKS.  

Time to conserve, Stop the top dressing of commercial fertilizer.  
Fertilizer needs a protective shield of TAPPKTS plus Zinc….with a powerful deep banding to 7 to 8 inches in the soil.

Getting the Oligarchs out of fertilizer business will return ammonia to $100 to $300 and locally built.

Note 1, In high organic content soils, Nitrate (NO3) must be present in the soil or water to promote Nitrous Oxide development.  
Note 2, The bacteria Nitrous Ammonias is key to building up N2O, Nitrous Oxide, or Laughing Gas in anaerobic soil (low oxygen) and
             soils in flooded conditions.
Note 3, Methane has been determined to be 28 times more toxic than CO2, (some calculations are as high as 86 times).
Note 4. Nitrous Oxide is 265 to 300 times more toxic than CO2 and is more difficult to sense or point to.
            Agriculture contributes 62.5% primarily from top dress, surface applied fertilizer that volatilizes rapidly such as Urea.
Note 5, The Bovine Belch may not be as significant when we account for all the animals removed on the Great Plains, 40 to 60 million Buffalo at 2,000 lbs. or Elk
            herds and other hoofed 4 stomach animals belching methane naturally.

 Maybe the real problem is too many humans are trying to keep warm in a high protein, nationally distributed food system. A system that seems similar to the American Plains Indians other than distribution of food over an interstate system.

Note 6, Why Urea as top dressed fertilizer is a good indicator of Nitrous Oxide Emissions.
