Non renewable Natural gas is retrieved from vast reserves in underground pockets.
Discovered in the 19 th century Chinese were the first to discover and use it William Hart was the first successful American to recover natural gas Unwanted gas used to be burned of in oil fields but now they put it into wells to save it BP was one of the first pioneers in using cleaner hydrocarbons in natural gas
Largest gas field is in Qatar It is used in fabrics, glass, plastics, and paint We extract natural gas from the natural gas reserves and transport it by pipeline to where we need it
We store excess natural gas in tanks and it gets pumped to our homes from the ground via pipeline to our homes We extract natural gas from the natural gas fields and send it to a factory where it is refined, then sent to us
In 2008 our energy source was mainly used for heating and electricity We are trying to make cleaner natural gas then we did before Since 1965 we have been using much more natural gas, third only to coal and oil
Advantages: Relatively low emissions of pollutants compared to other fossil fuels Safely stored and burned Affordable Many gas mines are still not used as much Cheaper Disadvantages: Puts pollutants into the air Tends to be more expensive than other fossil fuels Less concentrated form of energy than coal and oil Non renewable Highly Flammable!
People are very optimistic in America about natural gas in the future The major problem about natural gas in the future is that it is non-renewable so we will run out eventually BP has been one of the first companies to use cleaner hydrocarbons in their natural gas In 30 years we will probably be using less natural gas and more clean renewable products
