A weekly update on the latest “no-fluff” insight and analysis of the energy industry.
Low-carbon fuels help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by producing less carbon dioxide (CO₂) and other harmful gases when burned. This reduction in emissions is crucial for mitigating climate change and improving air quality.
Common examples of low-carbon fuels include natural gas, propane, biogas, renewable natural gas, compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). These fuels are used in various applications, from electricity generation to powering vehicles.
The benefits of using low-carbon fuels over traditional fossil fuels include lower greenhouse gas emissions, improved air quality and a reduced carbon footprint. Additionally, they can help diversify energy sources and enhance energy security.
Low-carbon fuels are produced through various methods, such as extracting natural gas, processing biomass to create biogas and converting organic waste into renewable natural gas. These production methods aim to minimize environmental impact and promote sustainability.
