Natural gas power generation is the process of generating electricity by burning natural gas. This method of power generation has become increasingly popular in recent years, due to the abundance of natural gas reserves and its lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to other fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum.

Natural gas power plants work by burning natural gas in a combustion turbine or engine, which then drives a generator to produce electricity. The efficiency of these plants can vary, but modern combined-cycle natural gas plants have efficiencies of around 60%, which is higher than traditional coal-fired plants.

GRC provides technical consulting services to clients in the natural gas power generation industry. Our team of experts can assist with:

• Feasibility studies for new natural gas power projects
• Optimization of existing natural gas power plants for improved efficiency and emissions performance
• Identification and implementation of new technologies to reduce emissions, such as carbon capture and storage.
• Assessment of the environmental impacts of natural gas exploration, extraction, and transportation
• Evaluation of natural gas power generation in the context of broader energy systems and policies.
