Natural Gas

Intro

• Natural Gas is a nonrenewable resource
• Usually extracted via pipeline

Transportation

• After extraction, the same pipelines are used to move the gas to trucks
• The trucks then move the gas to homes and other places where it will be used and sold

Electrical Generation

• Natural gas is burned to create electricity
• It is primarly used for fire stoves and heating systems

Resources Used

• Shale gas
• Propane
• Nitrogen
• Methane/biogas

Energy Generation from Source

• After extraction, spare water is removed
• Acidic gases are removed
• Mercury is removed
• Process of Nitrogen removal
• After the Merox process, it is Propane
• (The above steps are altered slightly to get things like Ethane, Butanes etc.)

Pollutants

• Air emissions are released when using Natural Gas

Advantages of Natural Gas

• There is a large and plentiful supply of it
• It produces a lot of energy
• It is much cleaner compared to other nonrenewable resources.
