Gas is the fastest-growing fossil fuel in the world. Over the last decade, it has accounted for 30% of total energy demand growth, outpacing the growth of both coal and oil. This has been driven in large part by a boost in fossil gas production and supply, which initially drove the cost of gas down in the late 2000s.
This is Part 1 of our blog series assessing Fossil Gas. We look at emissions released during different stages of the gas supply chain with a focus on the impacts resulting in gas-fired power generation.
