is affecting all walks of life in the country. The situation further deteriorated because of the stoppage of the supply to industrial units by Sui Gas Company. The Company was already going through a system of load-shedding itself due to excessive use of gas by CNG users. Many electricity generation units were shut off due to non-availability of the gas. The IPPs who were operating on furnace oil could not get the regular supply of the furnace oil due to the circular debt issue. And then naturally

coal should be: molecular weight of CO2/ atomic weight for the element of C * 80% = 44 ÷ 12 × 80％= 2.93 kg 2. Burning 1 m3 of natural gas produces about 2 kg of CO2 Difference of natural gas producing area leads to difference of the below figures: Density of natural gas: 0.72Kg/Nm3‚ average carbon content is about 76%‚ CO2 emission per cubic meter of natural gas burning is: 0.72 × 76% × 44 ÷ 12 = 2.00 3.

World population growth‚ and developing nations determined to be more modern are consuming natural and electrical resources at an ever growing pace‚ we are putting a strain on our ecosystem that may be harming the planet’s environment beyond repair. Electrical power can be generated many ways‚ Coal‚ Natural Gas‚ Hydro Dams‚ Oil‚ Solar‚ Wind‚ and Nuclear are the major options. All of these choices have advantages and disadvantages regarding the impact

Hydraulic fracturing is a process used in nine out of 10 natural gas wells in the United States‚ where millions of gallons of water‚ sand and chemicals are pumped underground to break apart the rock and release the gas. Scientists are worried that the chemicals used in fracturing may pose a threat either underground or when waste fluids are handled and sometimes spilled on the surface. The natural gas industry defends hydraulic fracturing‚ better known as fracking‚ as safe and efficient. Thomas J

oil is a major source of energy for the world. Everyday the United States consumes more crude oil than it produces. The growing number of barrels of oil imported into the Unites States and rising gas prices are major concerns. Even though increasing the United States crude oil production may not lower gas prices immediately‚ it will eventually allow the United States to be energy independent. Oil is used in many different ways besides gasoline. Many types of products worldwide consume oil. Plastics

Methane‚ CH4‚ is a type of alkane that is found in oil‚ gas and coal deposits [Refer to Figure 1]. It is the largest component of natural gas. At STP‚ or standard temperature and pressure‚ methane is a colourless and odorless gas (Clean Air Strategic Alliance‚ n.d.). The main reactions associated with methane are combustion and halogenation‚ such as CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O (combustion) and CH4
