Natural gas industry

The natural gas industry involves the extraction, production, processing, and distribution of natural gas, a fossil fuel primarily composed of methane. Found deep underground, it is sourced from gas fields and associated with oil extraction. Natural gas is used for heating, electricity generation, and as a raw material in various industries. It is considered a cleaner-burning alternative to coal and oil, producing fewer greenhouse gases. The industry faces challenges such as environmental concerns, market fluctuations, and the transition to renewable energy sources. Overall, it plays a crucial role in the global energy landscape.
