Gas: The Grand Energy

By Travis Kenton


Gas is generally the most important product in the world today. The world economy is at a great extent supported by oil products. Many of the products being used today rely or use this product as their main raw material. It basically plays a big and essential role in many major industries in this world. Some of such companies are petrochemicals, transport, some chemical industries and power industries. Oil and gas are a grand energyas they are readily available, hence this has made human being to massively rely on them for many of their day to day activities.

Despite the fact that burning oil results to global warming and green house effects little has been done to reduce its usage. Billions of barrels are in fact burned every year to power ships, trains and other locomotives.oil power is also used in some countries to produce electricity. Issues concerning oil dependency have been a cry of many politicians but little has been done to reduce its consumption worldwide.

The major cause of global deterioration or warming is burning gas which also may lead to green house effect. In the past years only few measures were taken to reduce the effect which led to further global warming. To actually operate ships, trains as well as locomotives, millions barrels of such a commodity needs to be burnt annually. Several countries today are basically utilizing oil to produce power for industrial and also domestic consumption.

The known oil entries operated by major industrial conglomerate like chevron and British petroleum cut short the efforts of subsidies. When all the oil drills depletes thus leading to increased prices which makes it difficult for most users to afford seems as the only means or way to minimize the usage of gas.

The common entries of such products are in the hand of few industries or corporations such as chevron and also British petroleum which have dragged or frustrated any efforts of subsidies. In case there is depletion of oil drills, prices of these products goes up making it pocket unfriendly to many users and hence this minimizes the utilization of gas.

Gas is widely used by a number of large industries so making it a crucial product. The commodity is not only heavily used in transport sector but also other sector of the economy needs it. It is one of the major raw materials in the production of cloth, medicine and Vaseline. These commodities are also the major source of power. Power generated from such products has been found to be very reliable.

The improved state of infrastructure has reduced the cost of oil transportation from the exploration sites to the market where the demand is. Some of the infrastructures put in place to ensure that transportation is streamlined is the usage of pipelines, trains, tankers and also ships. The production of this precious commodity and its refining has generally been made easy following the reduced cost of exploration.

GHG is the biggest limitation of these commodities. Their generation and usage leads to release of carbon dioxide. This gas is known to have sequestered for many years actually millions of years basically from dead bodies of animals and plant. This process generally transfers carbon from earth to environment leading or resulting to effect of global warming.

When this substance is emitted into the environment it impacts negatively. Sequestered for several years from dead matter such as animal or plants, carbon dioxide is generated and generally released to surrounding environment. The process actually transfers carbon from beneath the earth crust to the environment above leading to what is called global warming. There have been several treaties entered by different countries and state to try and stop the emission of carbon but with little or no solid results to stop the vice.

The exploration and also utilization of oils as energy sources eventually lead to large volumes of carbon dioxide being released in the air. This results to air pollution and water pollution. Some of natural gas usage benefit include, the commodity usually burns clean as compared to cola hence less pollution. This natural product has seventy percent less carbon as compared to many of the fossil fuels.

The next disadvantage increased level of water and also earth pollution. Many companies today are basically disposing their industrial waste products into water bodies leading to water pollution. The pollution is negatively affecting people who depend on fish and other aquatic animals for their source of livelihood. The can be used as a source of grand energy.
