11.1. Introduction

Natural gas is the cleanest primary fossil fuel. It produces less CO2, NOx, SOx, and particulate emissions when burned to produce energy compared to other fossil fuels like oil and coal (EIA 2017). Specifically, less greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions responsible for global warming are generated. In 2016, natural gas was used and consumed globally to generate electricity by 24% relative to the other energy sources, namely, oil, coal, nuclear energy, hydroelectricity, and renewables. ...
