have high natural

gas in high amounts

include; Russia,

Iran Qatar,

Turkmenistan and

In 2014; there were

an estimated 270

trillion cubic feet of

natural gas sources

in the US expected

to last more than 90

years.

Domestic uses-

Natural gas is used

domestically for

heating

Industrial use

Is a source of both

heat and power and

Unlike other forms

of fossils energy, it

produces less

carbon dioxide and

monoxide.

Its cost of

production is lower

Odorless, colorless hence

difficult to detect a leak.

Natural gas Is highly

flammable hence can cause

extensive damage when it

leaks.

Activated Carbon-

coal is used for

water and air

purification

Medical use coal is

used in kidney

dialysis machines

Silicon Metal coal

produces silanes

and silicones which

are raw production

of repellents, resins,

Coal has a stable

price hence it is

easily affordable

Coal burns quickly

and produces high

energy on

combustion

High amount of carbon

dioxide, sulphur dioxide,

nitrogen Oxide emission

leading to green house

effects in the environment
