Gas is clean

• Gas as transportation, heating & cooking and power generation

fuel will reduce pollution in big city areas

• Emissions of particles from natural gas are almost negligible

• Good compliment to wind and solar power generators

• The Gas Industry is supporting a well functioning «cost for

carbon» scheme
