"How do natural gas stations produce electricity?
South Africa is investing on gas-fired power stations because gas is a cheaper natural resource, it is efficient and does not produce a lot of pollution when it is burnt to generate electricity.
The biggest source by far is still from coal burning power stations, other large sources are natural gas, nuclear, and hydro power
As a fuel it is used to run the generators which produce the electricity.
As a fuel it is used to run the generators which produce the electricity.
Natural gas is ignited and the heat is used to boild water and generate steam. Steam is then forced through impeller turbines spinning them in turn spinning Generator Coils that Produce the electricity.
The amount of fuel (natural gas) used to produce electricity.
It can be burned in gas cookers, or gas fires or used in power stations to fuel turbines which drive alternators to make electricity.
Natural gas is cleaner than coal
Because.
In huge power stations. Natural gas and oil is pumped in and burnt, the heat released is used to super heat water to pressurized steam, this steam drives a turbine which drives a generator which produces electricity.

Wind energy is harnessed to produce renewable electricity. This replaces non-renewable electricity from greenhouse-gas-polluting fossil fuel power stations.
