The economic development of one country is dependent upon the ability of the authorities to set up a highly suitable, competitive and reliable electricity sector. Why is natural gas better than coal boilers?

Only when there is extreme environmental pressure or substantial reduction in loads that conversion from coal to 100% natural gas is possible.

Not until the 20th century until natural gas was used for production of energy, it was dismissed as a useless byproduct of crude oil production until then. But now natural gas accounts for 23 percent of the world’s energy consumption and still growing. The International Energy Agency predicts that the demand for natural gas will grow by approximately 44 percent through 2035.

coal releases about 2-3 times as much CO2 as natural gas, per unit of energy produced
might be one of the reasons

:) :baby: Hello everyone, I love this article because I have the same opinion as the blogger. I think natural gas is better than coal boilers. I suggest we start using them. Hopefully this site will provide articles that tackle about how we can start using natural gas.
