Detailed Solution

Natural gas is the most environmentally friendly fossil fuel. According to the Liquefied Natural Gas Centre, natural gas produces less pollution and greenhouse gases than the corresponding natural gas. For example, burning natural gas produces 45% less carbon dioxide than coal, 30% less than oil, and 15% less than wood. Combustion produces heat, steam, and carbon dioxide. It is also becoming more popular due to its great price advantage. Natural gas is a bridge from anthracite and oil to renewable and clean energy. Natural gas is considered a "green" fuel that helps mitigate the environmental damage caused by using other fuels such as electricity and wood. It burns cleaner than electricity or other fuels. It is low in carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides and does not emit mercury.
