Abstract

Pollution, resulting from the use of gasoline and diesel fuels, presents an evident concern to environmental health and safety, contributing to greenhouse gases, smog, and a plethora of other hazards to everyday life. A variety of alternative energy sources and technologies are being considered towards the reduction of pollution from the use of fossil fuels, one such being natural gas. The bottleneck of technology for natural gas implementation is the storage and distribution at ambient condition with low-cost media. Activated carbon materials, having been further popularized for their adsorbent properties, have become established as a popular choice for natural gas storage thanks to their high pore volume and surface area and the abundant availability of carbon precursors. Herein, the synthesis of activated carbon monoliths and their application for methane adsorption, as it relates to natural gas storage, is described.
