Gas-based power

Gas-based power refers to electricity generated by burning natural gas, a fossil fuel that releases energy when combusted. This process heats water to produce steam or drives turbines directly with gas turbines, turning mechanical energy into electrical power. Natural gas is considered relatively cleaner than coal, emitting fewer pollutants and greenhouse gases. It is a flexible and efficient energy source, often used for quick-start power generation and balancing electricity grids. Gas-based power plants play a vital role in providing reliable, on-demand electricity to meet fluctuating energy needs.
