Industry: Natural gas is crucial to the world’s energy supply. It is combusted in order to generate electricity, and when compared to other fossil fuels, it is quite clean, safe and has many end uses.1 For example, natural gas can be used to create electricity, power air conditioners, fuel vehicles, heat water, cook foods, heat buildings and also power large furnaces.2 Natural gas is fairly abundant in North America, yet it is still a nonrenewable resource which takes millions of years to form.…
Natural gas is used to create energy. Natural gas is a gas that occurs naturally underground. It is uses fossil fuels to make materials and chemicals. Geologist find and harvest the natural gas. Natural gas can be used for many things. It is beneficial in numerous ways. Although, there can also be downsides to using natural gas. Natural gas is made by the burning of fossil fuels.

Academic Analysis: “Natural Gas Fracking Addresses All of Our Major Problems” In his essay, “Natural Gas Fracking Addresses All of our Major Problems,” Richard Pierce argues that drilling for natural gas by using horizontal drilling and fracturing of shale formations will solve many of our nation’s issues. He cites that our abundant supply of natural gas has the ability to improve our economy, the environment, and geopolitical conditions as well provide a constant, dependable, global energy…
to acquire Natural Gas is a non-efficient and a destructive way of doing it. This paper is not intended to argue the fact that is has no harm, but instead, that as of this moment in time there is no better way to mass produce energy than Natural Gas and fracking is the best method of obtaining it. The use of fracking to obtain Natural Gas is the most efficient, cleanest, and least damaging way to mass produce Natural Gas in today’s world. It is argued that fracking to acquire the gas from the…
One solution to reduce traffic –related air pollution is to use natural gas vehicles. According to U.S. department of energy there are about 150,000 vehicles in the Unites states and approximate 15.2 million vehicles worldwide powered by natural gas. Natural gas vehicles, which can run on compressed natural gas (CNG), are good choice for high mileage. Natural gas vehicles generally emit 13-21 % fewer greenhouse gas emissions than comparable gasoline and diesel vehicles. CNG is considered…
Energy is an integral part of our lives and we use energy at home, work, and on the road every single day. We use biodiesel, electricity, ethanol, hydrogen, natural gas and propane. No matter where the energy is derived from, there are benefits and challenges to its use. No energy resource is perfect. Biodiesel is a domestically produced, renewable fuel that can be manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, or recycled restaurant grease for use in diesel vehicles. Biodiesel 's physical…
Summary of each fuel – and their strength and weakness Natural Gas Fuel (- NONRENEWABLE) 1. Propane – Uses LPG 2. CNG – Burns methane Propane engines last twice as long as conventional engines – lower maintenance. Range is 25% less than gasoline cars because of the lower energy content of fuel Performance is similar to a gasoline-powered car Natural gas fuels emit 1/3rd fewer reactive organic gases. HYDROGEN FUEL Hydrogen internal combustion engine (HFCE) produces nitrous oxides.…
