Can you use natural gas for electric power production?
Karthibitaped
Yes. Natural gas is used all the time for the production of electricity. Typically, natural gas power plants are small, on-demand plants which are used during periods of peak demand. These power plants are called 'peaker plants'. Natural gas is also used by most standby generators.
