Natural gas production has grown significantly since its first commercial use in the early 19th century. Initially discovered in the United States, it became a vital energy source due to its efficiency and relatively lower carbon emissions compared to coal and oil. Today, major natural gas producers include the United States, Russia, and Iran, with the U.S. leading due to advanced extraction technologies like hydraulic fracturing. These countries contribute significantly to global energy supplies, supporting industries, heating, and electricity generation, while ongoing innovations aim to make natural gas extraction more sustainable and environmentally friendly.
