What are the environmental impacts of natural gas?
The environmental impact of using natural gas is much less than the use of coal, diesel or gasoline. It is in fact the cleanest burning fuel we have. However, it is still a fossil fuel, methane, and burning it emits carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
What is the enviromental impact of natural gas when it is used as an energy source?
The environmental impact of natural gas will depend on the method of extraction, transportation to the point of use, and how it is used. For example, conventional extraction has less environmental impact than high volume slick water fracturing with long laterals, as is currently being used to extract shale gas. Extraction impacts are relatively local. The impacts of transport by truck are clearly different than transport by pipe, but it's hard to say which is less. One of the biggest environmental impacts of natural gas comes from incidental and accidental leakage during extraction and transportation. This may nearly double the carbon footprint of natural gas, eliminating most or all of its advantage over coal. This impact is global in scale as it adds to climate change.
What are some environmental advantages of natural gas?
the environmental advantages are that in 2100 that we may run out of natural gas.natural gas will be used in the future by powering cars and maybe make robots that run on natural gas.we haven't thought any ideas yet how to use natural gas but we will be using it as something important like use it as gasoline.
