Yes. There are many power stations that use natural gas to heat water to steam and then turn turbines to generate electricity. These are considered more environmentally friendly than oil or coal powered plants.

The use of nuclear reactors to generate electricity is what?
The use of nuclear power
Why does water conduct electricity while air does not?
AiR also conduct electricity,like wind power plant.Air has moisture which help it to generate electricity
What are some common uses for uranium?
used in the nuclear power industry to generate electricity
How do wind farms not contribute to global warming?
Wind farms generate electricity using the power of the wind. There are no polluting carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, such as are released from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What power station supply west London in electricity?
So why would you need to know that??
Does sound energy generate electricity in a power station?
No
Does biomass use heat to generate electricity?
Yes, you burn biomass to generate electricity, the same as a fossil fuel (coal, oil and natural gas) power station, except without causing global warming.
Where are fossil fuel burned?
In cars and trucks (oil), and in power stations (coal, oil and natural gas) to generate electricity.
What do you call places where fuels are burned to generate electricity?
A power plant or generating station.
What is the difference between electricity being made in a fossil fuel power station to being made in a nuclear power station?
The difference is only the material that is being used to generate electricity.
What role do power grids play in supplying electricity?
They generate electricity when coal and natural gas are not available.
What does a hyrdo-electric power station use to generate electricity?
Turbines that are driven by falling water.
How does gas fired power station works?
A gas fired power station burns gas to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. (That should be a record number of verbs used in one sentence ;-) A coal fired power station burns coal to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses the heat of nuclear reactions to heat water ... A hydro power station uses falling water to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity.
How does a gas-powered station work?
A gas fired power station burns gas to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. (That should be a record number of verbs used in one sentence ;-) A coal fired power station burns coal to heat water to generate steam to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A nuclear power station uses the heat of nuclear reactions to heat water ... A hydro power station uses falling water to turn turbines to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity. A wind turbine uses the wind to turn coils of wire in magnetic fields to generate electricity.
What fuel does India use to generate electricity?
The fuel that India uses most to generate electricity is coal. Second to coal is hydro power and then natural gas resources.
What is coal sed for?
Coal is used for burning to make heat. At home in a fire, at a power station to generate electricity.
Where does a generating station get its power?
There are several ways to generate electricity. Solar, wind, coal, nuclear, diesel etc.
