Natural gas

the natural environment. One of the major effects of air pollution is acid rain and it is caused by sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) gases. The combustion of high sulphur content fossil fuels can release harmful toxic gases into the air and therefore pose serious environmental problems. Coal, oil and natural gas are major energy resources available in environment where as fuel combustion processes and power plants are the largest contributor of these gases in the form of flue gas.…

public should know about the chemicals in “produced water”, when a company is planning to drill, and where they are planning to drill. If people are going to be affected by the drilling, whether it be with contamination of their water or fumes from natural gas around their houses, they should know what is happening and how they will be affected. These large companies should be willing to admit there is a problem and find a solution to it before it gets out of hand. They should also compensate…

Coal and Coal Seam Production and Use in Australia. Coal and coal seam gas (CSG) are both naturally occurring resources. They are both extracted from the ground by mining. Coal is burned to produce electricity in huge power plants. CSG can be cooled to produce liquefied natural gas, or the methane gas can used to power electricity generators. The mining of coal in order to produce electricity has advantages and disadvantages, which divide the opinions of society. The same can be said for the…

is a process in which metal pipes are drilled miles deep into the ground. This method requires millions of gallons of water and chemicals which are injected into down the pipe thus causing rock layers called shale to break eventually releasing natural gas. Are…

investigate thoroughly the causes of those previous leaks. Moreover, the regulator told that the ONG employee did not do the required survey properly when responding to a customer-reported leak the day before the January 2nd explosion.

“Scientists and industry experts may disagree over how long the world 's supply of oil and natural gas will last, but it will end”, Collins said. As of 2014 the United States consumes and burns about 374.74 million gallons per day. As the nation begins to deplete their non-renewable resources, they are forced to search for a permanent replacement that will continue to power all of North America and other countries worldwide.

also responsible for the Carbon emissions and other hazardous gasses come from burning fossil fuels, however, natural gasses burn cleaner than other fossil fuels like coal and oil. Supporters of fracking conclude that it will not only supply electricity and it is not only abundantly available it is a better alternative to fossil fuels and will produce far fewer carbon emissions. Natural gasses are regarded as ‘bridge fuels’ by many experts and not a final solution to the energy issue that the…

be worth the sacrifices? Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing, is the process in which chemicals and liquids are injected into rocks below the Earth’s surface at high pressure to extract the natural gas or oil trapped inside the rock. Below the surface of the United States lies trillions of cubic feet of natural gas, a quantity which is twice the amount of oil in Saudi Arabia. Although opponents of fracking claim that the process causes several safety risks and hazards, and is harmful for the…
