gas industry

Natural fuel business

The gas industry encompasses businesses involved in extracting, processing, distributing, and selling natural gas.

It includes exploration companies, pipeline operators, utilities, and retail suppliers.

The gas industry has faced increasing pressure to reduce methane emissions.

In some contexts, gas industry refers more broadly to petroleum and fossil fuel sectors, or specifically to companies producing industrial gases.
