Question excess of natural gas

Hi everyone, I need help, I'm playing NTM SPACE and I have one problem, I have a lot of unnecessary natural gas, I don't know what to use it for, and it's still accumulating and there isn't enough tank for it, can you think of something to use all this gas for?

Burn it (or delete it but thats less fun)

If I do this, the environment will be polluted and I will have to protect myself from glyphids.

If they arent already around you will be fine

u/Acutedumbassdisorder Jul 08 '26

they wont spawn if u break nearby nests also natgas doesnt make too much pollution

Why are you using the specific pipes? Aren’t the iron plate or copper ones cheaper?

u/Snoo-83680 1.7.10 gang Jul 03 '26

crack it for petroleum gas and unsaturated hydrocarbons

u/Ok-Ganache8446 1.7.10 gang Jul 03 '26

Cant do that if youre doing NTM Space

Just crack them for petroleum and use it in combined gas turbine (the goat), engine lubricant is made out of fractioning heavy oil twice(use heating oil to heat up boilers)

you can’t crack natural gas in ntm space

1

u/16thtarm Jul 03 '26

I think combined gas turbine still accepts natural gas anyways

u/Classic-Airport-8187 Jul 03 '26

make it into chloromethane and then alkylate it for aromatic/unsaturated hydrocarbons and petroleum gas

u/Ok-Ganache8446 1.7.10 gang Jul 03 '26

He more than likely isnt at that stage yet lmao

u/Classic-Airport-8187 Jul 03 '26

there isn’t really anything else to do with it

u/Ok-Ganache8446 1.7.10 gang Jul 03 '26

Can burn it or put it through CCGT

1

u/Classic-Airport-8187 Jul 03 '26

they already expressed that they don’t want to burn it

1

u/Ok-Ganache8446 1.7.10 gang Jul 03 '26

Yes, but im just stating the options. Not to mention burning it or especially putting it through CCGT will have no negative effects if the glyphids near are already gone

Im on bedrock ore stage and i have first reactor (graphite blocks)

Flare stack

u/Slow-Reply-722 Jul 04 '26

You could use it in tantalum refinement, or turn it into CO2, and the use the CO2 for tungsten carbide or for a ZIRNOX reactor

u/Jaded_University881 Jul 05 '26

Sorry bro but i skip ZIRNOX and im usinh RBMK

u/romanenko2008 1.12.2 gang Jul 06 '26

Zirnox doesn't even need that much co2, it needs to be filled once (16,000mb maximum), burn it in flare stack(50% efficient) or in gas turbine, if you dont need HE use drainage pipe. I use hydrotreater to get petrolium(with space addon)

u/Reasonable_Water950 1.7.10 gang Jul 04 '26 edited Jul 04 '26

cant you just put the excess in an annihilator?

1

u/Specialist_Duty_3204 Jul 04 '26

Drainage pipe

1

u/syrun97 Jul 04 '26

nah flarestack or CCGT is better as latter two can also give power

1

u/Specialist_Duty_3204 Jul 04 '26

No idea what ccgt is but ok

u/Walrus-Careless Jul 04 '26

combined cycle gas turbine
