Electricity from Natural Gas Natural gas is a fossil fuel formed when layers of buried plants and animals are exposed to intense heat and pressure over thousands of years. The energy that the plants and animals originally obtained from the sun is stored in the form of carbon in natural gas. Natural gas is combusted to generate electricity‚ enabling this stored energy to be transformed into usable power. Natural gas is a nonrenewable resource because it cannot be replenished on a human time frame

The oil and gas industry is seeking to expand natural gas production across the nation‚ as new technology makes it easier to extract gas from previously inaccessible sites. Over the last decade‚ the industry has drilled thousands of new wells in the Rocky Mountain region and in the South. It is expanding operations in the eastern United States as well‚ setting its sights most recently on a 600-mile-long rock formation called the Marcellus Shale‚ which stretches from West Virginia to western New York

Fracking for Natural Gas In today’s global fight for the growing demand of energy and promotion of saving energy‚ fracking has become very controversial. The dangers to our society and health are at the forefront in conducting safer practices. To obtain the natural gas‚ fracking or hydraulic fracking must be conducted. Hoffman (2015) explained‚ “Hydrofracking is a controversial oil and gas extraction technique developed in the late 1940s to gain access to fossil energy deposits previously inaccessible

CHAPTER 1: NATURAL GAS IN INDIA * Importance of natural gas Natural Gas is a new age fuel. Natural Gas is the cleanest of fossil fuels. Natural Gas satisfies most of the requirements for fuel in a modern day industrial society‚ being efficient‚ non-polluting and relatively economical. Natural Gas requires a strong distribution network to not only support existing demand‚ but also fuel future demand. A big challenge lies in bridging the physical gap between demand and supply centers in an efficient

Title: Background In Bangladesh‚ natural gas is one of the important sources of energy that accounts 75% of commercial energy of the country. Again‚ Bangladesh is important to world energy markets because of its large potential natural gas reserves. This resource really reduces importing fuel from other countries and saving large number of foreign currencies. All power‚ fertilizer and today the transport sector of Bangladesh are by no means dependent on Natural Gas. From the beginning of this century
