natural gas infrastructure

Natural gas infrastructure includes the system of pipelines, processing plants, storage facilities, and distribution networks that produce, transport, and deliver natural gas to homes and businesses. Gas is extracted from underground reservoirs, cleaned to remove impurities, and then transported through high-pressure pipelines over long distances. Once near users, the gas is reduced in pressure and delivered through smaller pipelines to end consumers. This infrastructure ensures a reliable, versatile energy source for heating, cooking, electricity generation, and industrial processes, playing a crucial role in modern energy systems.
