The mud and sand harden into shale and sandstone and the remains of the dead organisms are transformed into crude oil and natural gas. Surface deposits of crude oil have been known to humans for thousands of years. In the areas where they occurred‚ they were long used for limited purposes‚ such as caulking boats‚ waterproofing cloth‚ and fueling torches. By the time the Renaissance

Over the past decade‚ India’s economy has seen unprecedented growth‚ which has given rise to an increase in energy demand and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The availability of clean and affordable energy and electricity has become a growing concern for the Government of India (GOI)‚ as well as industrial‚ commercial and residential end-users.

Define the Issue Natural Gas is a good‚ clean source of energy for many uses. It does not pollute the atmosphere and is increasing in popularity. With fossil fuel sources depleting‚ natural gas is becoming more looked at as a new main energy source. There is a large quantity of natural gas held within the layers of shale underground and only recently new technology was developed that can release the gas from the shale in a process called fracking.

vulnerabilities? - One of the major strengths of Gazprom is ownership of large reserves of natural gas‚ though this is something that is not sustainable. Its monopoly ownership of major network of pipelines (UGSS of Russia) was a major advantage‚ providing Gazprom virtual control over the domestic transmission system in Russia. This removed any danger of competition from domestic oil producers who also had the ability to produce gas from their operations. The other obvious strength was close ties with the government

New innovations have reshaped the industry into technology leader. Natural gas is one of the most abundant energy resources on the planet‚ yet more than one-third of global natural gas reserves remain stranded and undeveloped. Cross-country pipelines are used to transport 70% of gas internationally

Most power stations in the world burn fossil fuels such as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas to generate electricity‚ and some use nuclear power‚ but there is an increasing use of cleaner renewable sources such as solar‚ wind‚ wave and hydroelectric.
