Anyone remember what question we’re on?
There exist gasworks located in Wheatstone Waterways and Academy of Industry, and a delivery main in the Port that services an airship dray line.
What is the gas?
∃ <==== just to see if its is supported.
Methane. Babbage has to ship its cow farts in.
Less silly answer: Coal gas. Historically-plausible-ish, and also appropriately potentially hazardous to health.
Ah laikes coal gas too.
Don’t forget Mr. Jack’s Gasworks.
The next question becomes…where are we getting the coal for the gas works? I understand now where the refinery gets its coke from.
The coal comes from Falun.
Methane would be appropriate as a fuel source. Would there not also be a need for either hydrogen or helium to act as a lifting agent for airships?
hydrogen definatly
