The pressure of natural gas in the UK transmission system varies depending on location and time. However, it typically ranges from about 60 to 85 bar (6000 to 8500 kPa) before it is reduced for distribution to consumers.
Natural gas is used primarily for heating our homes in the winter months. It is also used to heat water and to wash clothes. Another use for natural gas is to fuel many vehicles, such as garbage trucks and transit buses. It is becoming a much more popular form of vehicle fuel.
The North Sea region, located between the UK, Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, and France, is known for its large deposits of oil and natural gas. These resources have supported significant oil and gas production in the region for decades.
Yes, power stations in the UK use coal, oil, gas, and nuclear energy sources to generate electricity. Each energy source has its pros and cons in terms of cost, environmental impact, and reliability. The UK is also investing in renewable energy sources like wind and solar to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels.
Burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), as the UK does in transport, industry and the generation of electricity, releases age-old carbon dioxide which is causing global warming. This is melting the ice caps and glaciers of Antarctica, particularly in the West Antarctic Peninsula.
The gas used in a UK laboratory Bunsen burner is typically natural gas or propane.
Oil and gas are the only natural resources left and both of them are off shore and not actually in the UK.

North Sea oil and gas
In the UK, gas is commonly referred to as "petrol" when referring to gasoline used in cars, and "natural gas" when referring to the fuel used for heating and cooking.
The UK, AU and NZ spelling of 'odor' is 'odour'.
Coal, oil, natural gas and nuclear
AnswerA natural fuel called Oil has been discovered under the North Sea near the UK.
The Natural Resources in the UK in addition to the wildlife are: * North Sea oil * Natural gas * Coal * Wood products * Land cover * Ground water Oil and gas reserves in the UK have been estimated at 2.8 billion tons, but this includes estimates that have not yet been proven for the UK continental shelf. Only 0.5 billion tons have been proven.
When natural gas burns in a stove, it undergoes a chemical change. The chemical bonds in the natural gas molecules break, creating new molecules like carbon dioxide and water vapor. This chemical reaction releases heat and light energy as the gas transforms into different substances.
47% is natural gas, 28% is coal (2010 figures).
