Question 19

Name a few problems of natural gas.

Answer

A few problems of natural gas are:

  1. It creates green house emission like other fossil fuels.
  2. It cannot be used at large scale.
  3. It is highly volatile and can be dangerous if handled or transported carelessly.
  4. It is colorless, odorless and tasteless which makes its leak detection difficult.
  5. Lack of required compression and transport facilities leads to flaring of gas. It may occur due to lack of technical help for operational safety.
