Abstract

According to current estimations, natural gas can be found in many parts of the world in sufficient amounts to provide energy for human activities for about 250 years. Natural gas accounted for around 21 percent of the total revenue generated by the global energy sector in 2011, trailing only coal and oil in terms of importance. That corresponds to hundreds of billions of dollars in financial terms each year. The purpose of this essay is to compare the utilization of various fuels to that of natural gas. The results would aid the government, business leaders, and decision-makers in deciding whether to switch from gasoline and diesel to natural gas. There is a need for more research to be done in this field by academics and scholars.
