When liquefied natural gas is ready to be used, it can be easily converted back to a gas form simply by increasing the temperature. Coal, oil and natural gas are all fossil fuels. Production of natural gas does not disturb the surrounding area and the site is quickly restored to its original state once production ends. Natural gas has very few pollutants present as it comes from the ground, and those are removed before it enters the pipeline. Using natural gas in place of other more polluting energy sources can help improve the quality of air and water.
