As the world continues its transition toward cleaner, more efficient energy sources, natural gas plays a vital role in keeping the lights on and the economy running. We’re proud to supply the natural gas that fuels modern power generation - delivering reliability, efficiency, and sustainability to homes and businesses alike.

From Gas to Gigawatts: The Process

Natural gas generates electricity through a remarkably efficient process. In most power plants, the gas is burned to produce heat, which turns water into high-pressure steam. That steam then drives a turbine connected to a generator, producing electricity.

Modern facilities often use combined-cycle plants, where waste heat from the initial gas turbine is captured to power a secondary steam turbine. This technology boosts efficiency to around 60% or higher, far surpassing older coal-fired systems. By maximizing every bit of energy from each molecule of gas, these plants provide a cleaner and more economical way to meet growing electricity demand.

Cleaner Energy for a Changing World

Compared to other fossil fuels, natural gas emits significantly less carbon dioxide - about 50% less than coal and 30% less than oil. It also produces almost no sulfur dioxide or particulate matter, improving air quality and reducing environmental impact.

This cleaner profile makes natural gas a key “bridge fuel” in the global move toward renewable energy. As wind and solar power expand, natural gas generation ensures grid stability by providing consistent, on-demand power when renewable sources are intermittent.

Reliability that Powers Progress

Electricity is the backbone of modern life, and natural gas is one of the most dependable ways to generate it. Because it can be stored and transported easily through extensive pipeline networks, utilities can respond quickly to spikes in demand or disruptions from weather and other events. That flexibility supports everything from industrial innovation to the comfort of daily living.

The Path Ahead

As technology evolves, natural gas continues to support a cleaner, more efficient energy future. With advances like carbon capture and renewable natural gas, we’re not just powering the present, we’re helping shape a sustainable tomorrow.

At True Natural Gas, we believe that by delivering reliable, cleaner-burning natural gas today, we’re helping to power the innovations of tomorrow.
