Solution
- Natural gas contains no sulphur, so its combustion does not produce sulphur dioxide, which causes air pollution.
- It burns more completely, resulting in fewer harmful pollutants.
- Natural gas emits 50–60% less carbon dioxide (CO2) than coal or oil-fired power plants.
- The greenhouse gases released have a shorter life cycle in the atmosphere.
- Therefore, power generation plants based on natural gas are eco-friendly.
