摘要：
Natural gas may be stored by liquefaction, compression, or adsorption. For use as a transportation fuel, liquefaction is impractical and compression requires high pressure (20 MPa) and an expensive multi-stage compression facility. At relatively low pressure (3-4 MPa) achievable by single-stage compression, adsorbed natural gas (ANG) has nearly the capacity of compressed natural gas (CNG). Monte Carlo calculations were performed to simulate the adsorption of natural gas on activated carbon. The model is pure methane intercalated between parallel planes of graphite at a slit of width 11.4 angstrom, optimized for ANG storage. The simulations predict that the maximum delivered energy density of ANG is 0.25 for monolithic carbon and 0.17 for pelletized carbon, compared to 0.29 for CNG and 1.0 for gasoline.
