The most basic natural gas-fired electric generation consists of a steam generation unit, where fossil fuels are burned in a boiler to heat water and produce steam that then turns a turbine to generate electricity.

Mostly the Middle East and Russia.
Natural gas deposits are often found near oil deposits.

When it is extracted, natural gas can contain a variety of elements and compounds other than methane. Water, ethane, butane, propane, pentanes, hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and occasionally helium and nitrogen may be present in a natural gas well. In order to be used for energy, the methane is processed and separated from the other components. The gas that is used for energy in our homes is almost pure methane.

1. can be up to 68% less expensive than electricity

2. natural gas releases 70% less carbon monoxide into the atmosphere than gasoline and diesel

3. it is the cleanest-burning fuel, emitting only carbon dioxide and water vapor

4. natural gas dissipates so quickly into the air that it prevents explosions

# data[].attributes.body
1. takes millions of years to develop

2. burning of natural gas results in the emission of greenhouse gases

3. drilling for natural gas can lead to gas leaks, which could ruin entire ecosystems

4. leaks can occur slowly over time, going unnoticed for years, even decades

fuel cells --> Instead of burning natural gas for energy, fuel cells generate electricity with electrochemical reactions. These reactions produce water, heat, and electricity without any other byproducts or emissions.

natural gas vehicles (NGV) --> Natural gas can also be used as an alternative fuel for cars, buses, trucks, and other vehicles. Although NGVs initially cost more than gas-powered vehicles, they are cheaper to re-fuel and are the cleanest-running vehicles in the world.

Why would countries choose to use this source or not use this source? 

# data[].attributes.subject
Why would countries choose to use this source or not use this source? 

# data[].attributes.body
The main reason why countries would choose to use natural gas is because it is a much cleaner alternative to oil and coal. Some countries, however, would choose not to use this source because it is non-renewable.
