The article compares newly developed methods of natural gas combustion through oxy-fuel technologies. It describes in detail the basic technological differences and ordering of technological parts for five different cycles using carbon dioxide and steam as a working medium in expansion turbines in electricity production. Among the procedures using steam as the working medium, attention is focused on GRAZ and CES cycles. In oxy-fuel procedures utilising carbon dioxide produced by natural gas combustion, the focus is on COOLCEP, MATIANS and COOPERATE cycles. For each cycle described, the respective operating conditions and principles are given. Additionally, detailed process diagrams are also provided. Important advantages of all of these cycles include the possibility of the combustion of not only liquefied natural gas but also other gaseous fossil fuels, whose introduction into production is not very time-consuming, and the possibility of connection to power distribution network within a relatively short period of time.

There are investigated the influence of operating pressures in the gas supply system on the level of such energy indicators as efficiency, gas flow and gas overrun by gas equipment in residential buildings. There is established a relationship between the values of operating pressures in the gas supply system and the gas consumption level of household appliances. The causes of insufficient pressure in the gas networks of settlements are analyzed in the article. There is also developed an algorithm for calculating the change in the efficiency of gas appliances depending on the operational parameters of the gas network. It has been found that the most efficient operation of gas appliances is observed at an overpressure at the inlet of gas appliances of about 1200 Pa.To ensure the required quality of natural gas combustion among consumers and minimize gas consumption there are justified the following measures in the article: coordinating a domestic regulatory framework for assessing the quality of natural gas with international norms and standards; improving the preparation of gas coming from local wells before supplying it to gas distribution networks; auditing low pressure gas pipelines and reconstructing areas affected by corrosion; ensuring standard gas pressure in the network for the normal operation of domestic gas appliances; stating quality indicators of natural gas combustion by gas sales organizations.

One of the major anthropogenic sources of greenhouse gases is the operation of building stock. Improving its energy efficiency has the potential to significantly contribute to achieving climate change mitigation targets. The purpose of this study was to roughly estimate such potential for the operation of the national building stock of Czechia to steer the national debate on the development of related national plans. The estimation is based on a simplified energy model of the Czech building stock that consists of sub-models of residential and nonresidential building stocks, for which their future energy consumptions, shares of energy carriers and sources, and emission factors were modeled in four scenarios. Uncertainties from the approximation of the emission factors were investigated in a sensitivity analysis. The results showed that the operation of the Czech building stock in 2016 totaled 36.9 Mt CO2, which represented 34.6% of the total national carbon dioxide emissions. The four building stock scenarios could produce reductions in the carbon dioxide emissions of between 28% and 93% by 2050, when also considering on-side production from photovoltaics. The implementation of the most ambitious scenario would represent a drop in national CO2 yearly emissions by 43.2% by 2050 (compared to 2016).

Five different flame states are identified in a compact combustion chamber that is fired by a 30 kW swirl-stabilized partially premixed natural gas burner working at atmospheric pressure. These flame states include a nozzle-attached tulip shaped flame, a nonattached torroidal-ring shaped flame (SSF) suitable for very low NOx emission in a gas turbine combustor and a Coanda flame (CSF) that clings to the bottom wall of the combustion chamber. Flame state transition is generated by changing the swirl number and by premixing the combustion air with 70% of the natural gas flow. The flame state transition pathways reveal strong hysteresis and bifurcation phenomena. The paper also presents major species concentrations, temperature and velocity profiles of the lifted flame state and the Coanda flame and discusses the mechanisms of flame transition and stabilization.
