A natural gas pipeline is a system of pipes designed to transport natural gas from production sites to consumers. These pipelines can be found underground or above ground and are essential for delivering energy to homes, businesses, and power plants. The gas is usually transported at high pressure to ensure efficient movement over long distances. Natural gas pipelines are part of a larger infrastructure that includes processing plants and compressor stations. They play a crucial role in the energy sector, providing a cleaner alternative to other fossil fuels like coal and oil. Safety measures and regulations are in place to minimize risks associated with transporting natural gas.
