United States is home to what some estimate to be the largest known shale gas reserves in the world. Often referred to as the “bridge fuel” that‚ according to the oil and gas industry‚ will aid in the country’s energy transition from coal and oil to renewable sources like wind and solar power. Natural gas now fuels nearly 40 percent of the country’s electricity generation and the use of the gas is becoming very popular. Natural gas use has soared in recent years‚ but so has the controversy surrounding

The technology has been in use since the 1940’s‚ and has been used in at an industrial level since the 1990s. Although Canada is in possession of an abundance of natural gas resources‚

Hydraulic fracturing is a process used to extract the earth’s natural gas from shale formation found throughout the United States. The largest shale formation in the United States is the Marcellus Shale which is located

and adding to gasoline to make it more efficient. This is when ethanol made its debut into the fuel industry‚ as an additive to gasoline. Ethanol is put into gas as a combatant against water‚ which can find its way into fuel tanks of vehicles. It reduces the effect that this water has on the health of the vehicle‚ and as a result increases gas mileage‚ and also increases the amount of complete combustion. Ethanol consumption has severe drawbacks pertaining to its effect on the environment. Production

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

It has become the foundation upon which our entire modern civilization has been built. Recently‚ that foundation has begun to develop some cracks and has become a little shakier than it used to be‚ as cheap oil and natural gas become harder to find and acquire. Even if we were to develop a new source of energy and a more fuel-efficient car today
