Abstract
Customers in the residential, commercial, and industrial sectors are supplied electricity and natural gas (NG) via intricate networks linked in several ways. After coal, NG is the most significant fossil fuel for producing power. Especially among industrialized countries, NG usage for electricity production has increased well into the 21st century. Therefore, switching from coal to NG has made it easier for businesses to comply with emission control limitations for combating climate change as well as for countries to fulfill their objectives for carbon dioxide emissions. Therefore, even though some governments and power companies are promoting (NG)—with or without carbon capture—as a step toward a carbon-free energy economy, environmental campaigners generally view it as a diversion that diverts resources away from developing more extensive renewable generation resources. This chapter moreover discusses various energy production techniques and how they are used, such as steam turbine power plants, gas-fired power generation, and NG-fueled microturbines.
