What is Natural Gas?
Natural gas is a type of thermal energy that is primarily methane that formed over millions of years as organic matter decayed beneath the earth's surface. It's commonly extracted from reservoirs deep underground.
What Are the Benefits of Natural Gas?
Grid Balancing: Natural gas plants provide rapid dispatchable power to respond to peaks or dips in energy demand.
Emissions Advantage: Gas emits significantly less CO₂ than coal. It's seen as a transitional fuel toward cleaner grids.
Reliability: Gas plants are essential to prevent blackouts during extreme weather.
Economic Impact: Natural gas plants offer competitive operating costs and help control price volatility during periods of high electricity demand.
