Why Natural Gas?

Natural gas is a vital component of the world’s supply of energy because of its economic and ecological advantages. When used to generate electricity in modern Combine Cycle Gas Turbines (CCGT) efficiency of 50% - 55% can be achieved compared to 35% - 40% commercial fuel oil steam plant. This translate to cost saving to the consumers of electricity in the industrial, commercial and residential sectors. Natural gas is also one of the cleanest and safest energy sources. Unlike other fossil fuels, burning of natural gas emits almost no sulphur into the atmosphere and it is also a safe source of energy when transported, stored and used.

Distinctive advantages:

1. Natural gas is the cleanest and non-polluting burning fossil fuel, producing mainly water vapour and lower CO2



2. Natural gas is a highly efficient and safe fuel, fastest growing fossil fuel in world’s consumption since the seventies. Natural gas is forecasted to eclipse crude oil as the dominant form of energy by 2025.
