Around a quarter of the world\u2019s electricity comes from power plants fired by natural gas, which significantly contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions and climate change<\/a>. The most recent figures have estimated that power plants fired by natural gas are accountable for about 10% of energy-related emissions.<\/p>\n Now, a team of researchers led by McGill University has gathered data from 108 countries around the world to quantify emissions by country. The team estimated that total global carbon dioxide emissions from the life cycle of gas-fired power are 3.6 billion tonnes each year. It was concluded that this amount could be reduced by around 71% if a variety of mitigation options were implemented globally.<\/p>\n
