About Natural Gas
Natural gas is a vital fossil fuel, a non-renewable hydrocarbon mixture found in deep underground rock formations. It consists mainly of
methane ([img]data:,[/img]). It is often considered the cleanest-burning fossil fuel, producing less carbon dioxide and almost no particulate matter compared to coal and oil when combusted.
Key Uses:
- Electricity Generation: Its fastest-growing use is as a fuel for power plants, often using highly efficient gas turbines.
- Industrial Use: It is a raw material (feedstock) for manufacturing chemicals, fertilizers, plastics, and hydrogen.
- Residential/Commercial: It is widely used for heating (furnaces and boilers), cooking, and water heating in homes and businesses.
- Transportation: It is used as a fuel in two main forms: Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).
