"Gas generation" refers to the process of producing or creating gas, usually through chemical reactions or natural means. It involves the creation of gases like carbon dioxide, methane, or hydrogen that can be used for various purposes such as energy production, heating, or industrial applications.
Full definition
But if storage gets cheap enough, this equation may flip and storage could threaten the economics of
natural gas generation.
The cost comparisons for such a system should not be based on the difference between average solar or wind energy cost and the average cost
of gas generation.

gas generation fell by a combined 133 million kWh, while renewable generation expanded by 78 million kWh (Figure 1).
However, if project pipelines evolve to include more natural
gas generation projects, care will be needed to ensure that this «bridge» fuel does not lock out renewables.
No one expects wind and solar to entirely replace coal and
gas generation without widespread deployment of energy storage, as well as means to manage and shift electric demand.
Natural
gas generation produces about a third of the nation's electricity today and provides many of the same benefits as storage since these power plants are easy to switch on and off.
Coal and natural
gas generation shares over the past decade have been responsive to changes in relative fuel prices.
The two estimates are mostly aligned on all generation estimates with the exception of small differences in wind and solar and large differences in natural
gas generation estimates.
In contrast, during the first half of 2011, coal made up about 46 % of total generation while natural
gas generation grew to 17 % of total generation.
Natural
gas generation meets all three objectives, providing a generation solution that is clean, reliable and affordable.
Natural
gas generation keeps the power on and grid stable when the sun doesn't shine and the wind doesn't blow.
We need to keep in perspective how
effective gas generation can be compared with nuclear generation in cutting global GHG emissions.
These changes in anticipated natural
gas generation occur in spite of new projections that point to lower natural gas prices.
The move would protect those plants from some of the competition from
natural gas generation and, to a lesser extent, from renewables.
The «polar vortex» experienced in late 2013 also caused additional problems associated with natural gas prices which spiked as Ontario's storage was depleted and Ontario's and the Eastern US
gas generation plants were ramped up just as demand for heating fuel was high.
«The rapidly dropping price of wind and solar, combined with natural
gas generation rather than coal, lead to solid economics, high reliability, lots of renewables, reduced emissions, and local control,» said Weaver.
Pupils from across the country have danced their way to a greener future, winning the
British Gas Generation Green Energy Performance 2014.

More importantly, however, making
more gas generation capacity available is only a short - term fix and does not seriously address the changes needed to maintain, in the words of the National Electricity Objective, a secure, reliable and affordable supply of electricity.
At the government's upper estimate for
gas generation in 2030, energy costs could vary by as much as # 229 per household.
The authors reject the idea that one expensive measure — the practice of «firming» wind energy by balancing it with natural
gas generation at every hour — is necessary in light of other low - cost options.
Annual natural
gas generation surpassed coal generation for the last six months of 2015, and came within 1 percent of annual coal generation for the first time in U.S. history.
Our products are derived from our core competencies in pressure measurement and control, flow measurement and control, gas and vapor delivery, gas composition analysis, residual gas analysis, leak detection, control and information technology, ozone generation and delivery, RF & DC power,
reactive gas generation, vacuum technology, photonics, sub-micron positioning, vibration isolation and optics.
The report goes on to suggest, like our commenter, that there is a slight reduction in greenhouse
gas generation from ethanol, but that the other environmental effects of intense corn farming outweigh the gain.
According to EIA, utilities will increase natural
gas generation first, with reneawbles growth taking over to make up for retirements later in the compliance period.
One can talk about hybrids and wind power and alternative energy sources but the best source of energy is conservation - get rid of the old crap, get modern efficient appliances, change incandescent to compact flourescent, the simple and logical solutions can reduce consumption and
greenhouse gas generation.
Meanwhile, natural
gas generation prices are increasing as carbon costs are included; nuclear generation prices are forecast to increase in Ontario to recover refurbishment costs; and new hydro mega-projects are seeing costs climb.
Any area on an unwrapped mattress where a baby sleeps is a potential source of toxic gas, since that is the area which becomes warm and moist (promoting the fungal activity which can
cause gas generation).
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show, Mr. Terkper said the coming on board of the TEN oil field and some
other gas generation projects will gradually wean the country off the West African Gas Pipeline.
Gas power will continue to be absolutely vital for our electricity system - and we will work with industry to develop a new
gas generation strategy that draws in investment and secures electricity supply.
By 2020, conventional coal plants must be phased out because of carbon cap restrictions, and in their place, natural
gas generation soars, providing half of all electric power.
Overreliance on
gas generation assets could mean higher prices for electricity customers during severe weather events, such as the polar vortex of 2013 - 14, or other interruptions in supply or delivery.
The chart below shows how this inverse relationship can work: when monthly hydropower generation dips under 10 - year average levels, monthly natural
gas generation often rises above its 10 - year average in response.
These include pipeline operators who don't have the same self - dealing opportunity; non-utility electricity generators who can't sell their product to utilities because the utilities now prefer to build their
own gas generation; and companies that build wind and solar projects, who find themselves boxed out.
With power industry restructuring in the 1990s, the construction of new power plants was dominated by independent power producers who favored natural
gas generation due to short construction times and low capital costs.
Achieving that would include following the ISO - NE natural
gas generation plan, deploying more community microgrids, and increasing infrastructure hardening.
Natural
gas generation during the winter of 2011/2012 (November through February, the latest electric power data available) was up 69 billion kilowatthours compared to the prior winter, despite the generally low demand for electricity.
