Natural Gas Power Stations
Natural gas power stations generate electricity by burning natural gas, which is a cleaner fossil fuel compared to coal and oil. The process involves using a gas turbine that converts the energy from the burning gas into mechanical energy, which then drives a generator to produce electricity. These power stations are often more efficient and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions than traditional coal-fired plants.
In addition to their efficiency, natural gas power stations can quickly adjust their output to meet changing electricity demands. This flexibility makes them a valuable part of the energy grid, especially as renewable energy sources like solar power and wind energy become more prevalent.
