Processed natural gas is used as a fuel in heating systems as well as for power generation. It is also an indispensable feedstock for chemical and fertilizer industries. Russia possesses the most abundant deposits of natural gas. Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar and the UAE also have huge natural gas reserves.
