Natural Gas
Natural gas is found in deep underground rock formations or associated with other hydrocarbon reservoirs in coal beds and as methane clathrates. Natural gas is simply referred to as gas, especially when compared to other energy sources like electricity.
Natural gas is used mainly in the industrial, commercial, transportation, and household sectors. The power and fertilizer sectors are the largest consumers of natural gas.
Domestic consumption growth has been satisfied through liquified natural gas (LNG) imports whose share in the country’s natural gas consumption is approx. 50 per cent. Thus, the Natural Gas in India has strong linkages to the Global Natural Gas prices.
