The biomethane fuel used in this study was produced from domestic biogas plants and used the same fuel currently used for CNG vehicles. The components were analyzed, and a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GC/MS) was used for component analysis. As a result of analyzing 4 peak values of them, phenethylamine, cyclotrisiloxane, cyclotetrasiloxane and cyclopentasiloxane were detected at the running times of 1.422min, 6.550min, 11.500min, and 14.833min. Most of them were composed of siloxane series, and some other components were present.

LNGC(Liquefied Natural Gas Carrier)의 역사는 1959년 5,000m3 급 LNG선 "Methane Pioneer"호를 시작으로 1969년에는 71,500m3 급, 1973년에는 Moss Type의 최초 LNG운반선 "Norman Lady(87,600m3)호, 1980년대 125,000m3 급을 시작으로 1990년대를 거처 135,000m3 급, 2007년 210,000m3급 그리고 2008년에는 266,000m3 급의 초대형 액화천연가스 운반선이 출현하였다. 또한 2006년 11월에는 기존 내 외연 기관이 아닌 발전기 기동으로 Propeller를 움직이는 DFDE(Duel Fuel Diesel Electric)엔진, 육상의 Storage Tank를 생략한 기화설비를 갖춘 LNG-RV(Re-gasification Vessel)와 주 기관은 Slow Diesel을 택하고, 운항 중 발생하는 BOG(Boil Off Gas)를 재액화시키는 설비를 갖춘 DRL(Diesel Re-Liquefaction)선박 및 해상 LNG 생산 저장시설인 LNG-FPSO(Floating Production and Storage Offshore), 그리 고 해상 LNG 인수기지 역할을 하는 LNG-FSRU(Floating Store and Re-gasification Unit) 등이 개발되었다. 이 논문에서는 LNG Project, 전 세계 에너지 시장과 LNGC의 발전 추세에 대하여 다루었다.

During the deregulation weave of natural monopoly industry in the word, reform of natural gas industry among those shows difference and complex. This paper aims at developing theoretical frame of industry organization model of natural gas, and it is illustrated by applying it to five countries. Firstly, based on three coordinating system theory nine organization models are identified, and described in more detail using additional structural features. In the following, developed theoretical frame is illustrated by applying it to four countries.

Natural gas possesses several characteristics that make it desirable as an engine fuel ; 1)lower production cost, 2)abundant commodity and 3)cleaner energy source than gasoline. Due to the physics characteristics of natural gas, the volumetric efficiency and flame speed of a natural gas engine are lower than those of a gasoline engine, which results in a power loss of 10-20% when compared to a normal gasoline engine. This paper describes the results of a research to improve the performance of a natural gas engine through the modification and controls of compression ratio, air/fuel ratio, spark advance and supercharging and method of measuring flame propagation velocity. It emphasizes how to improve the power characteristics of a natural gas engine. Combustion characteristics are also studied using an ion probe. The ion probe is applied to measure flame speed of gasoline and methane fuels to confirm the performance improvement of natural gas engine combustion characteristics.
