Nowadays we are updated about the harm of fossil fuel to our ecosystem. That’s without mentioning that, while it is an indispensable way to get our energy, it isn’t renewable and someday sooner than later we are going to end up without our main source of energy or worst, we are going to make irreparable damage to our planet earth.
But we’ve know that while we still depend on fossil fuel, we have come to the conclusion that natural gas is one of the types of fossil fuel that doesn’t cause too much harm to our planet, and here are the reasons why.
Less CO2
One of the most beneficial advantages of natural gas is how little CO2 emission has. When you take the time to compare it with other sources of fossil fuel energy you’ll realize that natural gas releases 50% less CO2 in comparison with coal, and about 20% or 25% less than oil.
Natural gas technology
We are aware of the current changes in technology that are catching up with the treat that represents climate change, that’s why there’s a lot of development in our technology that is aimed for natural gas, in order to lower the consumption of CO2
As well, there are a vast majority of projects that are focused on the capture and as well the storage of the CO2 to reduce the damaging effects to our ecosystem
Public Health
Another thing that is worth mentioning about natural gas is that it can offer a lot of benefits for our environment, making a focus on our air. Natural gas can actually improve the quality of our oxygen and with that in mind. It can also increase public health as well.
Natural gas is known for being a type of fossil fuel that is commonly used in the majority of our countries, and even with the arrival of newer ways to extract energy. Natural gas is still a great and viable option if we are looking to have a cleaner environment and collect a good amount of energy.
