=== Natural gas=== Natural gas is ignited to create pressurised gas which is used to spin turbines to generate electricity. Natural gas plants use a [[gas turbine]] where natural gas is added along with oxygen which in turn combusts and expands through the turbine to force a generator to spin. [[Gas-fired power plant|Natural gas power plants]] are more efficient than coal power generation, they however contribute to climate change, but not as highly as coal generation. Not only do they produce carbon dioxide from the ignition of natural gas, the extraction of gas when mined releases a significant amount of [[methane]] into the atmosphere.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Natural_gas_power_plant|title=Natural gas power plant |website=Energy Education|language=en|access-date=2019-06-08 |archive-date=2019-06-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190608042814/https://energyeducation.ca/encyclopedia/Natural_gas_power_plant|url-status=live}}</ref>
