    What effects does the exploitation of natural gas have on the environment?

    Natural gas production may have negative effects on the environment, including as greenhouse gas emissions, habitat damage, and air and water pollution. Groundwater and surface water may become contaminated with chemicals and methane, a potent greenhouse gas, as a result of the extraction process, notably hydraulic fracturing (fracking), which involves injecting water, sand, and chemicals into rock formations to release the gas.
    By offering guidance on best practices for well design and construction, putting policies in place to reduce emissions from extraction and transportation, and creating plans for the safe and responsible management of waste materials, Natural Gas Expert Consulting can assist businesses in assessing and minimizing the environmental effects of natural gas extraction.
