Often forgotten, however, is the possibility of trading in natural gas. Quite wrongly, because natural gas is probably the fossil fuel with the greatest future potential. In the following article we would like to explain to you why this is so and what other areas of application natural gas has. We will also explain how you can best trade natural gas. We will describe all relevant factors influencing the price of natural gas and explain how you can participate in the price development with natural gas CFDs.<\/p>

What are the uses for natural gas?<\/strong><\/h2>

Bridge technology for renewable energies<\/strong><\/h3>

The problem with solar and wind energy is that they are very volatile, as they only actually generate electricity when weather conditions are optimal. Therefore, bridging technologies are needed to ensure a constant power supply even when the weather is unfavorable. This is where natural gas comes in. It can mitigate the volatility of renewables in three ways.<\/p>

For one thing, natural gas can pick up slack in renewable energy by being used directly to generate electricity. This method produces far fewer CO2 emissions than burning coal and oil, offers strong performance, and provides immediately available energy thanks to natural gas's so-called quick-start capability.<\/p>

Natural gas can also act as a storage medium for excess renewable energy that cannot be fed into the power grid immediately. The so-called power-to-gas process ensures that hydrogen is generated by electrolysis, which is then transferred to the natural gas grid or converted into synthetic natural gas via methanation. Conventional and synthetic natural gas or hydrogen are thus mixed.<\/p>

Third, natural gas is an excellent transport medium for green hydrogen. H2 is seen as the energy storage medium of the future, but it evaporates quickly and is generally difficult to transport. By mixing hydrogen with natural gas, the transport problem is eliminated. In addition, the existing gas pipeline infrastructure can be used. The addition of hydrogen is possible up to a proportion of about 20 percent.<\/p>

Generation of heat for heating<\/strong><\/h3>

Today, the most widespread application of natural gas is certainly still the generation of heat for heating. Advantages: Natural gas does not have to be stored in a cumbersome way like oil, it is much cheaper and available almost everywhere as soon as an appropriate connection has been made. In principle, heating works in such a way that natural gas is burned and the resulting heat energy is then transferred to the heating water. This water is then piped to the radiators.<\/p>

Use as fuel for cars<\/strong><\/h3>

As CNG (compressed natural gas), natural gas can also be used as an alternative fuel. Almost all vehicles with gasoline engines can be converted to run on natural gas. To do this, the vehicles are fitted with an appropriate compressed air tank in the trunk, which is filled with the highly compressed natural gas. In addition, a minor modification of the engine is necessary. The natural gas can be refueled at special filling stations.<\/p>

How big are the deposits of natural gas and where are they located?<\/strong><\/h2>

The world's natural gas reserves can be divided into two categories: reserves and resources. Reserves are natural gas that has already been explored and whose extraction is economically feasible according to the current state of the art. Resources, on the other hand, are those natural gas deposits that have been explored but whose extraction is not currently viable from a technical or economic point of view.<\/p>

According to current knowledge, natural gas reserves will last for about 60 years, assuming consumption levels remain constant. With the currently known resources, it would be possible to cover current consumption for just under 150 years. Both values are significantly higher than the corresponding estimates for crude oil.<\/p>

Natural gas is present around the globe in many different countries and on all continents. In terms of reserves, the five largest deposits are located in the following countries (sorted in descending order):<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
