Petrochemicals:
Petrochemicals are organic compounds (hydrocarbons) or chemicals gotten from petroleum. These are chemicals that are produced by petrochemical industries from crude oil and natural gas.
Advantages of Natural Gas:-
Natural Gas is Environmentally Clean: Among many burning fossil fuels available on planet earth, natural gas is the most cleanest. It is considered clean because unlike other gases, natural gas emits very less byproducts into the atmosphere as pollutants. This keeps the air we breathe cleaner.
It is Economical: Natural gas is not as expensive as other burning fuels.
It is Convenient: If people use natural gas for cooking or electric purposes, it can be directed connected to the consumer’s house with the help of pipelines. This eliminates the long process of collecting, processing, packing, and delivering the end product to the customers.
Natural Gas is Safe to Use: One of the biggest fear we have when using LPG cylinders or any other type of fuel is the possibility of leakage. Gases have the power to burn things and people around and can be very dangerous. However, natural gas is lighter than air. In case of a leakage, it dissipates quickly into the air avoiding fire. Isn’t that super safe?
It is Available Abundantly: Currently, experts state that amount of natural gas available is more than crude oil or other such products.
It is More Efficient: When compared to things like propane gas, natural gas provides more energy when it burns, which makes it much more efficient.
Natural Gas is Easy to Deliver: If we look at the current mode of delivery of gas to homes in India, we notice a lot of metal cylinders changing hands. Should natural gas take over as the preferred fuel for cooking, its delivery would be much easier since all that is needed to deliver natural gas is a network of pipes.
