Coal is the major source for these emissions, and therefore natural gas and renewables emerged to substitute for coal in this sector [6, 7]. That results in natural gas and renewables picking up 14.8% of the market (i.e., or ∼99% of the market lost by coal). In 2016, natural gas become the major sources of electricity in the United States (∼34%) followed by coal (30%), nuclear (∼20%), and the renewables (∼16%) [8].

Main advantages
• Creates economies of scale (large individual offtakes)
• Offers good load factor
• Can avoid costly treatment facilities as gas quality is not usually critical
• Provides basic gas infrastructure for subsequent expansion
• Requires no storage on users’ premises and avoids waste disposal problems
• Uses conventional technology
• More eco-friendly (no SOx and less NOx and
CO 2 emissions, no particulates, etc.) than coal and most oil products
Disadvantages and constraints
Possibly lower value in competition with coal, fuel oil, hydro, etc.
• Load factor may be low if the end consumer installs dual-fired capability or buys gas on an interruptible basis.
