Shale Gas—New Type of Energy
China Ministry of Land and Resources reported on December 31st that, shale gas was classified as a new type of mineral resource. It will be invested and managed as an independent ore.
Shale gas is mainly used as the civil and industrial fuel mainly in chemical industry and power plant etc. Shale gas is a type of natural gas produced from shale. Its main component is CH4, and is a type of clean and high efficient energy and industrial chemicals. The exploitation and usage of shale gas can remit the shortage of oil and gas resources in China, and increase the clean energy supply.
In the world, shale gas is also a useful natural gas. Shale gas is produced from shale. As for the shale, it is a fine-grained, clastic sedimentary rock composed of mud that is a mix of flakes of clay minerals and tiny fragments (silt-sized particles) of other minerals, especially quartz and calcite. Shale is also widely used in the building industry. Hence, crushers, such as jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone crusher will be widely applied.
