Natural gas vehicles are being applied to city buses for improving air quality in metropolitan and have proved the effective way to reduce the pollutant emissions. Liquified Natural Gas(LNG) has also attempted a vehicle fuel in order to raise the fuel storage density that is a disadvantage of Compressed Natural Gas(CNG). This paper described insulation characteristic of a LNG storage tank. From the results, adiabatic coefficient of a tested tank was around $40J/h{\cdot}^{\circ}C{\cdot}m^2$ and it was the lower level than gas safety regulation limit. Two experimental methods were adopted to justify the evaluation results and they were revealed that the results were very similar to each other. Also, through testing relief valve operation characteristic it was investigated venting amount of boiled off gas.

This research presented experimental results obtained from the bench test of a 1800cc LPG vehicle, fitted with ECM for fuel supplying controlled system. The comparison study was made with non-ECM-equipped in terms of performances and emission characteristics. CVS-75 emission tests was conducted in order to meet emission regulations.

중국의 경제성장 속도가 급류를 타고 있다. 이러한 경제성장 속도에 비례해 에너지 소비도 급격하게 늘어나고 있는 추세다. 그러나 경제성장은 환경오염이라는 부작용을 함께 동반한다. 최근 중국은 자동차매연으로 인한 대기오염 등 심각한 환경오염에 처해 있으며 경제성장과 환경보고라는 두가지 압력을 받고 있다. 그 자구책의 일환으로 중국정부는 청정연료인 LPG의 보급에 가속 페달을 달았다. LPG는 단순 취사뿐 아니라 난방 수송 산업용 등 각 분야에서 수요가 늘어날 것으로 전망되고 있다. 최근 일본 도쿄에서 열린 '아시아 LP가스 세미나'에서 중국 건설부 도시건설국의 류하명, 남경시 액화석유가스공사 석성무씨가 발표한 내용을 번역, 게재한다.

The purpose of this study is to obtain low-emission and high-efficiency by hydrogen enriched LPG fuel in LPG engine and is to clarify the effects of hydrogen enrichment in LPG fuelled engine on exhaust emission and performance. An experimental study was carried out to obtain fundamental data for performance and emission characteristics of hydrogen enrichment in LPG engine. The research was held by changing the hydrogen ratio to 0, 5, 10, 20% in 1500rpm, bmep 2 and 4bar. The result turned out that the combustion duration was shortened due to fast flame propagation of hydrogen. And the amount of Carbon dioxide and Hydrocarbon decreased. However, the amount of NOX increased, which is thought to be the result of high adiabatic flame temperature of hydrogen. It has been confirmed that this phenomenon has changed by the Hydrogen mixing ratio.

A liquid rocket engine(LRE) Using LO$_2$/LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) propellants was experimentally evaluated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the performance of the LO$_2$/LNG rocket combustor that is composed of three sect ions(igniter spacer, cylinder and nozzle section), especially focused on the influence of regenerative cool ing effect in association with the phase of regenerative coolant Series of tests were conducted under the conditions of water cool ing and regenerative cool ing with LNG in the cylinder section and independent cool ing with water in the igniter spacer and nozzle sections. Parametric studies on the variation of a chamber pressure and mixture ratio were undertaken. In addition, effect of propellant(LNG) composition and its enthalpy on the performance is examined.

Dimethyl ether (DME) can be used as a clean diesel alternative fuel due to the high cetane number and low emission, it can also be applied to automotive fuel as a blended liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) because physical properties are similar to those of LPG. In this study, feasibility test of LPG vehicle using blended DME-LPG fuel was investigated. Three types of fuel supply such as LPLi (Liquid phase LPG injection), LPGi (Liquid phase gas injection) and mixer type were selected to consider the LPG fuel-injection system. The performance characteristics of LPG vehicle were examined by using LPG and blended DME-LPG fuel in order to compare the exhaust emissions (CO, THC, $NO_X$) and fuel economy. The emissions and fuel economy of DME-LPG blend fuel were comparable to those of LPG with increasing driving distance.

Due to the depletion of fossil fuel, high oil price and global warming issue by green house gas such as CO2, clean synthetic fuel technologies using biomass, especially GTL(Gas To Liquid) technology, have been greatly attracted. This paper has examined and compared the worldwide technologies trend of natural gas reforming reaction, F-T(Fisher-Tropsch) synthesis and upgrading process which are three backbones of GTL technology.

Natural gas is globally emerging as an important energy source for environmental, political and regional reasons. In Korea, natural gas imported from oversea natural gas resources as a LNG, it is increased for an applications as a fuel and feedstock which replace the coal and nuclear energy. Because it is relied on the import market in Korea, it is very important to analyze the security for supply. Therefore, this study suggested a method for reducing supply risk and for providing stable supply and demand through risk analysis of Korea's import structure. In order to reduce the supply risk, the concentration of importing countries should be lowered and it is necessary to lower the proportion of countries with relatively low GSSI and increase the imports from Russia. Finally increasing the number of importing countries or maintaining friendly relations with countries where the supply is stable could give us the positive impact in terms of total GSSI.

The heat transfer characteristics of LNG(Liquefied Natural Gas) vaporizer on the ship was performed by numerical simulation to get the optimum NG(Natural Gas) generating condition. The glycol-water was used for heating in LNG vaporizer, and the cooling water of main engine was used as heating souse for glycol-water. This cooling water temperature increases again after recirculating from the main engine, and then it can be used to heat the glycol-water. The numerical analysis results has good agreement with the experimental results by liquid nitrogen for validation. So CFD technique was used to simulate the heat transfer characteristics of LNG vaporizer on the ship. The numerical results show that the operation condition of LNG vaporizer shows NG temperature of $6^{\circ}C$ in the outlet of LNG vaporizer, and the mass flow rates of LNG and glycol-water were showed 0.111 kg/s and 1.805 kg/s, respectively.
