CCGT Generation.

Zoomup
When we look at gridwatch we see just how gas is vital as a contributor to electrical generation. Just down the road from me is the Bacton gas terminal right next to the sea. The site is just above sea level on a sandy cliff top site. The local newspaper reports the sea defences are to be strengthened by the importation onto the beach of some 1.8 million cubic metres of sand along that section of coast to protect the Bacton gas terminal and houses there.


This method was tried previously at Horsey, just down the coast. Unfortunately within 2 years the sand had been removed by natural tidal wave action.

    At the moment, the Americans have got more gas than they know what to do with.  That's why they stick it on boats and ship it to us.  It's a by-product of fracking for oil.


    i expect there will be gas found somewhere in the World for many years to come, but the economics of shipping it long distances may not add up.  I suspect peak oil will be reached not when the oil runs out, but when it just gets too expensive to extract, and the same is likely to go for gas.
