Method for delivering a gas

A method for delivering a gas, comprising:

• providing a conduit which supplies natural gas to a geographic location;
• mixing a gas to be delivered with the natural gas for delivery to the geographic location;
• and
• providing a proton exchange membrane fuel cell at the geographic location, and wherein the gas which is distributed is hydrogen and which is consumed by the proton exchange membrane fuel cell to produce electricity.

A method for delivering a gas, comprising:

• providing a conduit which supplies natural gas to a geographic location;
• mixing a gas to be delivered with the natural gas for delivery to the geographic location;
• providing a proton exchange membrane fuel cell at the geographic location, and wherein the gas which is distributed is hydrogen and which is consumed as a fuel gas by the proton exchange membrane fuel cell;
• and
• providing a natural gas filtering assembly at the geographic location and which substantially prohibits the delivery of natural gas to the proton exchange membrane fuel cell at the geographic location.

A method for delivering a gas, comprising:

• providing a conduit which supplies natural gas to a geographic location;
• and
• mixing a gas to be delivered with the natural gas for delivery to the geographic location;
• and wherein the conduit delivers a volume of natural gas, and wherein the gas which is mixed with the natural gas is hydrogen, and wherein the volume of the hydrogen is less than 50% of the volume of the natural gas.

A method for delivering a gas, comprising:

• providing a conduit which supplies natural gas to a geographic location;
• mixing a gas to be delivered with the natural gas for delivery to the geographic location;
• providing a fuel cell at a remote geographic location and which, during operation, consumes the gas which is mixed with the natural gas;
• providing a second miscible gas which is mixed with the source of natural gas;
• and
• providing a chemical reactor which is coupled in fluid flowing relation relative to the fuel cell and which is operable to convert the second miscible gas into a fuel gas which can be consumed by the fuel cell.

A method for delivering a gas to a geographic location, comprising:

• providing a source of natural gas;
• providing a conduit coupled in fluid flowing relation relative to the source of natural gas, and which delivers a volume of natural gas to the geographic location;
• providing a source of a gas to be delivered to the geographic location;
• mixing the source of the gas to be delivered with the natural gas for delivery at the geographic location;
• providing a first device at the geographic location, and which is coupled in fluid flowing relation relative to the conduit, and which consumes the natural gas delivered to the geographic location;
• and
• providing a second device at the geographic location, and which is coupled in fluid flowing relation relative to the conduit and which consumes the gas which is mixed with the natural gas, and which is delivered to the geographic location.

A method for delivering a gas to a geographic location, comprising:

• providing a source of natural gas;
• providing a natural gas delivery network which is operable to deliver the source of natural gas by way of a conduit to a geographic location;
• providing a source of a fuel gas to be delivered to the geographic location to the conduit;
• mixing the source of fuel gas with the source of natural gas, and wherein the conduit has a volume, and wherein the preponderance of the volume of the conduit comprises natural gas;
• providing a device at the geographic location and which consumes natural gas during operation, and which is coupled in fluid flowing relation relative to the conduit;
• and
• providing an ion exchange membrane fuel cell at the geographic location, and which is coupled in fluid flowing relation relative to the conduit, and which, when supplied with the fuel gas generates electricity.
