What are some advantages and disadvantages of synthetic natural gas??
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
Converting solid coal into synthetic natural gas removes sulfur and most other impurities from the coal. However, compared to burning coal directly, producing synfuels requires the mining of 50% more coal. Producing and burning synfuels could also add 50% more carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. As a result, synfuels have a lower net energy and cost more to produce per unit of energy than coal production.
