Business entities engaged in oil and gas production activities, especially in the oil and gas upstream activities, have the ability to reduce greenhouse gas emissions flare (flare gas fuels) by 30-60% per year in developing environmentally friendly oil and gas industry.

As offered by the site lemigas, Director of engineering and MINERAL RESOURCES and oil and gas Environment Suyartono in his book “the Environmental Safety of oil and gas”, flare gas reduction policy of 30-60% per year is an attempt to achieve zero flare in 2012 in accordance with the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 and has been ratified by Indonesia through Act No. 17 of 2004.

Related to this, the program zero flare up  in collaboration with the World Bank has conducted an inventory of the amount of flare gas fuels (gas flare) and CO2 venting (individual-clusters and possible today) generated by a business entity in the business activities of oil and gas.

“A study that aims to identify the potential for CO2 reduction in flaring activities and enhance national capacity and venting with improvements to the system of collecting and reporting data related to the operation of upstream natural gas in Indonesia,” he explained.

One of the implementation of policies to achieve those goals were minimize waste disposal membrane to the environment by way of doing reindeer to membrane well. This has already started to do in some of the oil and gas, including LNG project.

Flare system is the installation of which must be in every oil and gas industry. The process involves a dangerous gas and flammable gases so as to trigger the crash. Flare system is a protection system of gas comes out of the system process by means of burning gas that comes out before entering the atmosphere.

However, burning of flare system turned out to be one of the causes of global warming so that combustion is to be reduced.

In 2008, the volume of a gas flare Indonesia around 113 MMSCFD. Of that amount, approximately 109 UNIT came from oil and gas upstream activities and the rest of the downstream oil and gas activities. While according to the World Bank, in 2007 Indonesia have burned approximately 215 MMSCF and was eighth in the world 13. The burning of Indonesia, adding to about 12 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere and dispose of more than US $ 400 million each year.

Gas flares can also be utilized to meet energy needs. Head of BPMIGAS r. Priyono some time ago expressed, during the semester 1 2009 BPMIGAS managed to facilitate the signing and selling gas flares burn at some places. Among other things, the Field is given the total volume of the Sukowati BSCF with value by 35.7 per total sales of US $ 71.4 million over 6 years.

In addition, sales of gas flares burn was signed from the field in Papua of 17.5 Matoa BSCF with a total value of sales of US $ 25.9 million over 10 years.

Hemp fiber can be used as raw material for the manufacture of the gas tube. The results are stronger than the tubes of steel plates.

So the broadcast VOICE of the Ministry of SCIENCE and TECHNOLOGY for research and technology, Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 at 08.00-09.00 am viewing the topic of Hemp Fiber Gas cylinder, interview by phone with speaker Prof. Tresna p. Soemardi, Professor of the University of Indonesia, Depok.

According to the hemp plant can arguably Tresna versatile, ranging from the apical leaves until the roots can be utilized for a variety of needs, it featured as a raw material for military uniforms, can be created so the stem is firewood, and its leaves can be as livestock feed.

Rests on it, Tresna P Soemardi, offering alternative solutions tick raw material gas cylinder which has a comparable force even better than the steel plate. Despite their greater power, material derived from natural fiber composite epoxy was designed with light as well as a fixed stainless. Natural fiber composite epoxy in addition to the more environmentally friendly can also be produced

“Hemp Plant is rich in fiber (plant bast). Flax plants boehmeria nivea named as latin is easy to grow and grow in the tropics, so the material easy to obtain in Indonesia is very rich. Flax plants perfectly suited developed in the western part of Indonesia which has a wet climate. ” Details on the grounds that plants require a fair amount of rainfall throughout the year.

Advantages of hemp fiber strength supporting Component is reaching levels of cellulose 45 to 53 percent, whereas lignin as a component of composite materials to the detriment of just 21-26 percent. Hemp mechanical properties of the plant has a power 1050 Mega Pascal (Mpa), young’s modulus Gpa, 61.5 density 1.5 to 1.6 grams/cm3 and fiber length 60-260 millimeters. The use of fibre flax crops as composite material based on the consideration of the material was not easily cracked, more powerful, and can dampen vibrations.

“When gas Lpg composite tube accommodated in flax fibers, epoxy between gas Lpg with composite chemical reaction will not take place because of the good properties of epoxy remunerate once to the durability of resin. Moreover, material Composite tubes are pastis. That is, at the moment given the huge burden of declining due to the nature of elasticity concentrations that exceed the limit of the material. The gas tube from the flax fiber is very light and resistant to rust, Eco-friendly, and more artistic. “explained Tresna at length.

Yet Tresna gives an account, the strength of a composite material is determined by the properties of pembentuknya materials. In addition the strength is also determined by the orientation angle and the thickness of the layer. If the strength of the fiber and matrix, there is a difference which is quite far away, doing so will cause the flax fiber and matrix broken.

“In the process of making composite, there is a failure it featured that could be caused by factors of processing errors. In order for composite fiber flax epoxy tube not scratched or hit with hard objects, it will be good coated sheet aluminum. Nevertheless, there is a lack of fiber flax, which could become a powder or powder or it could be subjected to corruption or destruction. Even in the long run could experience fragility. “

Asian stocks fell in trading Monday triggered a growing concern due to cuts in the Euro Zone’s debt rating by Standard & poor’s which will further exacerbate the difficulties of the euro zone and recapitalization funds, threatening to derail progress in resolving the debt crisis.

Reuters report on rating agencies S & P cuts rating of 9 out of 17 Member States of the euro zone, including France and Austria, rating and said it may be terminated immediately if the bailout funds will downgrade the euro zone. It adds to Twitter, talks stalled over the bailout of Greece, put Athens under strong pressure to complete the deal with bondholders to cut debt to a more sustainable level or default risk in March that when it has to redeem bonds are great.

FTSE CNBC Asia 100 index, which measures the market across Asia, fell 1.6 percent.

Japan’s Nikkei average dropped 1.6 percent after S & P rating debt France from stripping to the status of triple-A precious and cut the credit ratings of eight countries of the euro zone, it is also another blow to the region in a bid to end the debt crisis.

Exporters fell due to news that approximates the pressure level of the euro in 11-year lows against the US dollar and the lowest in 16 months against the yen. While the Topix index fell 1.6 percent to 723,25.

Seoul shares slip, also triggered towards S & P downgrade 9 country euro zone. Joint-stock price index (KOSPI) Korea down 0.9 percent to 1,905.75

Australia also shares slip 1.1%. The Benchmark S & P/ASX 200 index was down points to 48.4 4.147 .5. New Zealand Benchmark NZX 50 index slipped 0.3 per cent to 3.216 v1.3.

Taiwan stocks opened up 0.8 percent after incumbent President Ma Ying-jeou was elected, showed better economic ties with China. The main stock index up Taiwan TAIEX 60,38 points to 7.241 .92.

Hong Kong shares opened down quite low, dragged by a weakening in China after the stock rose last week waiting for economic data expected out this week.

Hang Seng index was down 0.8 per cent to 19.057, 1. Shanghai Composite slipped 0.6 percent to 2.230 1,2,3,4,5. In Southeast Asia, Singapore Straits Times index and benchmark KLCI Malaysia both fell respectively 1 and 0.5 per cent.

The selling price is planned to follow Vi-Gas market mechanisms which refers to the LPG international price with government subsidies amounting to Rp 1,000 per liter of Premium equivalents (lsp).

The selling price of Gas will always Vi-changed following the LPG international price, in this case, and the rate of CP Aramco rupiah against the dollar. However, the Government will provide subsidies amounting to Usd 1000.00 per lsp. So in advance, the selling price of the LGV (Vi-Gas) will fluctuate with the magnitude of subsidies which are constant.

“Vi-Gas Price Formula is similar to the formula of subsidized FUEL at this time. If the FUEL is the Mean of Platts Singapore (MOPS) + Alpha then on LGV will resemble the CP Aramco + Betha versions. With this economization prices will drive GAS STATION to make an investment preparation means Vi-Gas so it can multiply the availability of GAS STATION serving Vi-Gas sales, “said Vice President Corporate Communication Aaron.

The plan was in line with government policy to convert FUEL (Premium) subsidized transportation sector begins to 2012. The Government is targeting a number of vehicles that are converted using the Vi-Gas is 250,000 vehicles in Java and Bali, consisting of public transportation as much as 200,000 and 4-wheeled vehicles with engines below 1,500 cc by as much as 50,000.

Since introduced in 2009, the selling price of Gas is not Vi-changes in level of Rp 3,600 per lsp. The price is a price promotion so not yet reflect the market price, as one form of attempts to introduce eco-friendly alternative fuels.

Currently, sales of Gas through the Vi-10 GAS STATION Pertamina is still relatively low, amounting to about 24,000 lsp per month. Pertamina plans to add to the GAS STATION could serve the sale of Vi-Gas  nine units in the near future.

REMAIN PRODUCTIVE IN THE DIFFICULT

Science will keep us, while money may not be able to keep us, that’s the message our parents first. Whether it’s any kind of expertise, which obviously you have to have it. You will be more useful and valued by society because it has expertise.

But at least you will not be a burden to anyone, let alone expect help from such countries as the crisis hit in 1998, where the government is forced to create a social safety net policies which as we all already know, the edges are a source of corruption of people who do not is responsible.

Okay if you just think this now makes the limited opportunities to survive and to remain productive while looking for career opportunities in one of the companies that you think suitable for your interests and expertise you have. Opportunities that you can do based on your ability in the computer field is to give private lessons to various schools, institutions, companies or individuals. Your ability in a particular subject you can also take advantage of. Moreover, you master a subject that is generally considered difficult. It’s also a chance and opportunity. Being mentor subjects Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, music, computer and English is required. Please learn and open it again from school textbooks. Being mentor also does not require much capital. The most crucial for you have is a communication tool that can be reached wherever you are. In addition, you would have to prepare the syllabus and curriculum may also correspond to the needs of your customers.

PREPARATION TIPS STARTING A BUSINESS

According to data in the U.S. Small Business Administration, more than 50% of businesses / small businesses fail within the first year, and 95% fail within the first five years. Brian Hazelgren, author of “Tactical Entrepreneur” argue that someone who opened a business must have a solid strategy to deal with short-term aspects of the business, but also maintaining adequate focus for future business development plans. Prepare everything from scratch, so you can be successful and have a solid foundation to start your business operations.

Brian has experience in entrepreneurship, both positive and negative experiences. Learning from his experience, he developed tips and strategies for those who would plunge to open a business and become entrepreneurs. Here are tips and strategies:

Avoid the pitfalls of operating a business:

- Use a mentor. Find people who succeed in running a business and frontlines / learn from it.
- Read as many books on entrepreneurship, marketing, and business planning. Gather as much information as you can.

A combination of different sources, available to start a business successfully:

- Use tools and technologies to help start your business
- Determine what kind of person you want as an employee, and what skills are required of your employees.
- Follow the development of business practices and also what has been done by other companies.
- Do your research on buying patterns and customer mindset.
- Continually, doing research on competitors.
- Think about what makes your business unique, who the buyer / target market, who your competitors are, and how your distribution strategy.

DARE TO pioneering efforts?

Many job seekers can not meet the qualifications demanded by the company because of the lack of provision of skills possessed. The situation got worse when the global crisis began to hit the economy in our country. The impact of the crisis that occurred ten years ago is still deeply felt compounded by the additional crisis triggered by financial crises that hit the country “Uncle Sam” due to mismanagement of the housing credit.

While for those who work too much stagnated for various reasons. Also probably lived jobs not based on factors favorite alias just for the sake of getting a job. Today many of the workers or employees who work as long as acceptable working and willing to accept a relatively small fee that is not precisely comparable with the needs of a growing increasingly bolder. As a result of the pegs from the pole. This will certainly complicate alone, then why not choose the path of self-employment just as a solution?

Determining the field of business your industry, you certainly should consider the areas of business that suits your ability and personal desire.

It could be that you will find a great business partner or investor who sympathize with you because of the honesty and the quality of your work now. Go with me what it is, just do it! You will never know if you’ve never tried.

Remember back several decades at least when business gas prices were not really a concern for most businesses in the UK? Those were the good old days. when the North Sea seemed to spew out gas on demand, as if there was enough to keep the UK self sufficient for natural gas forever.

Very few things effected the business gas prices back in the good old days. If there was severe weather, it could make the prices rise temporarily. Demand was basically the driving force behind natural gas prices. Unfortunately, business gas prices have become much more complex, indeed, the whole UK energy market has grown more complex. The first gas pipeline between the UK and Europe in 1998 automatically hooked British gas prices to European oil indexed prices. Now we have Liquefied Natural Gas imports, easy to transport natural gas so if we want to export natural gas, we have to compete with other nations that were not competition before.

Not that any of this matter greatly to business owners in the UK who only worry about business gas prices when they are steadily rising. The prices of business gas vary widly among suppliers at times so businesses now have to shop for natural gas contracts just like they do for any other commodities they use. It was so much easier before with one gas company, one price. Ah, those really were the good old days.

Nisaan is currently developing the car of the future. One of the largest automotive companies in Japan, plans to make the mind of the driver-based vehicle. Nissan and a university in Switzerland are developing cars that can scan driver’s mind and prepare the vehicle for the next step. Similarly, as reported by Japan Today website on Friday

According to Jose del R Millan, a professor at the Swiss EPFL University of Technology who led the project, the initial idea of this concept is to integrate intelligence between the driver and the vehicle in such a way. With so to function properly.

This project will be made using the pattern of brain activity measurements of the eyes, movement, and by scanning the environment around the car. Which later associated with the sensors on the car, to estimate the driver steps next. Then prepare vehicles to maneuver with the slow pace of the vehicle if necessary, or a position slightly to the left or right.

A spokesman said the EPFL, the study will last for four years. Then at the end of that period, Nissan hopes to have a prototype ready to be launched

The automotive world is no longer just environmentally sound but are also required to give a sense of security and pleasure and the ability to adapt to all situations and conditions. To meet these demands, various innovations continue to be done on the car which is the main means of land transport in the present and future. Machine * Hybrid systems Hybrid system is a transitional system that leads to an efficient automotive technologies and clean, these systems still emit pollution, but is relatively low because the engine is a combination of oil-fueled engine with an electric engine system. The main driving force of this car is an electric motor with permanent magnets that require a certain amount of electricity that comes from the battery. While the driving force that uses fuel oil is only needed if battery power is decreased, the engine fuel is required to charge an electric battery, after full power of this machine will stop itself. Thus the use of fuel becomes less and by itself would be less pollution. The less electricity used by the motor the less well working engine battery charger, battery capacity greatly affects the machine working longer because of the larger capacity battery will be less and less well the machine works. * Brain regulator Brain regulator (electronic control module) is a small computer with a large capacity because the system is able to regulate ignition or injection continuously after the engine purposes. To do this requires a computer job information from various sensors to determine the position of the gas valve, piston number one position, coolant temperature, intake air temperature, amount of air flow, velocity and other parts that need. Harmony Cars, Humans and the Environment Small cars is one way to answer the demands of time to conserve natural resources cracked, save energy, reduce emissions and do not make the streets filled with cars  as large, while we wanted the room spacious and comfortable car. To meet all the small cars it should be compact but spacious room enough for at least five persons including the driver. Spacious interior allows the passengers relaxed and easy to communicate, not only with other passengers but also with his vehicle. To save space, the door slid open sideways so that passengers can simply press the release button that is in or outside the car then electric motors automatically move the door, but it could also open the door using a remote controller. Now the car is not just the iron runs but part of life and the human environment. Harmonious relationship was finally back to the basic concepts of automotive technology in order to satisfy the human desire to cars fast, safe and comfortable. The emphasis of these three elements are located on the safety and comfort. About the security demanded not only the security that is safe from the primary collision that is safe but also secondary and tertiary such as pollution free and fuel efficient. If the higher pollution will ultimately threaten human security, as well as if the natural resources depleted “security” man in the future is also threatened. In terms of convenience of automotive technology experts who developed the concept of human comfort as it loads the driver control the car more reduced. Directions to the manufacture of automotive technology is a car that can serve human desires while maintaining safety. So future cars equipped with the all the computer facilities.
