The American Gas Association (AGA) today called attention to a recent study by the Gas Technology Institute that reports the increased “direct use” of natural gas in businesses and homes will reduce national CO2 emissions, energy consumption and consumer energy costs. Direct use refers to using natural gas in a commercial or residential capacity such as space heating, water heating, cooking and clothes drying.

The study, “Validation of Direct Natural Gas Use to Reduce CO2 Emissions,” found that when a societal subsidy such as a rebate or a tax credit is put in place to encourage the use of natural gas appliances, significant savings in energy costs, CO2 emissions, energy use, and electricity use can be achieved.
