查看答案 参考范文 Natural gas is an energy different from other energies.Unlike the energy of coal,natural gas emits no smoke when burning.So it is widely regarded as a clean energy.Furthermore,natural gas also distinguishes itself in conveniency from crude oil which has to be refined and processed in the refineries.Clearly,our natural gas industry should accelerate its production. According to the chart above,the output of natural gas has increased in the past five years.In 1991,the output was a little more than 15 billion cubic metres while in 1995,it hit 17.5 billion cubic metres.Compared with the previous 4 years,the year 1995 saw the greatest increase in its output.However,the capacity of the gas production is far from being satisfactory. It is reported that China is rich in natural gas.Recently several gas fields have been confirmed and more gas areas are being explored in northwest and northeast China.With such rich resourses it is high time that the capacity for annual production were largely expanded.We expect the day will come when natural gas with its characteristics of cleanness and conveniency enters thousands of factories and households.
