Natural gas is traditionally seen as an abundant and
clean fossil fuel for generating thermal and electric energy
[2–6]. After treatment to remove undesirable components,
this gas is used principally as a fuel. The chemical industry
uses only 7% of this gas, e.g., in the production of ammonia
and methanol [7,8]. The use of gas as an electricity-generating
fuel requires an infrastructure of local distribution to the
end user, be it through gas pipeline systems or liquid natural
gas (LNG) transportation and reevaporation systems
