Why natural gas isn't considered green?

[-] Mountaineer@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Because burning it (mostly methane) creates/releases greenhouse emissions such as CO2 and N2O.

And the gas itself leaks allover the distribution network, and is a more potent greenhouse gas than CO2.

Fun fact: 'natural gas' is a filthy greenwash corporate psiop.

Anything can be a gas naturally.

Nothing beats organic grain-fed coal.

I understand it as it's not a byproduct of anything and it exists in this form in the nature

If you squint hard enough, theoretically any unnatural product could be heated to the point where it is in it's natural gaseous state.
