(London.CityRegions.com, April 24, 2013 ) London, UK -- There is good news for those who have gas heating in their housing, as natural gas produced in the northeast's booming region has now been shown to lead to fewer greenhouse gas emissions than coal.
The natural gas production has produced less harmful material than the competing source of electric power, according to a new study held by Exxon Mobil's research arm.
“We conclude that substantial [greenhouse gas] reductions and freshwater savings may result from the replacement of coal-fired power generation with gas-fired power generation,” states the study in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.
The finds will both bolster natural gas advocates, and help quell some concerns about the emissions impact. The ability to curb greenhouse gas emissions is important, while the usefulness of natural gas to not only power electronics but heat homes and prepare food is an important synergy of positive aspects.
The role of gas in climate change has been the subject of continual debate since the idea of climate change became so prevalent. Fracking then lead to more intensive discussion regarding the matter, as the new system of gathering gas was considered risky and even dangerous by some.
However, according to the study, at least when it comes to the use of the gas, it is a safer alternative that what has been used in the past. The gas produces much less carbon dioxide than coal when burned, and helps drive down the U.S. Carbon emissions within recent years.
The new study does, however, find that overall “lifecycle” of greenhouse gas emissions from Marcellus shale gas is 53% lower than goal in the carbon-equivalent terms.
“The analysis employs the most extensive data set of any [lifecycle assessment] of shale gas to date, encompassing data from actual gas production and power generation operations,” the study states.
