Question

Which one of the following places is not covered by the gas pipeline in India?
A) Hazira
B) Jagdishpur
C) Kota
D) Lucknow

Answer 1

Hint: Long-distance conveyance of a liquid or gas over a network of pipes—a pipeline—to a market location for consumption is known as pipeline transport. According to the most recent data from 2014, there are slightly less than 2,175,000 miles of pipeline across 120 countries. The United States had 65 percent, Russia had 8%, and Canada had 3%, so these three countries accounted for 75 percent of all pipelines.

Complete answer:
Natural gas is one of the most efficient and non-polluting modern fuels for both industrial and home use. Natural gas has risen gradually in the energy basket of major countries due to its characteristic clean-burning nature and availability via pipeline connection, which eliminates the need for local storage and other transit requirements.

Natural Gas Pipeline Infrastructure connects various gas sources to various gas markets in order to meet the current and future natural gas demand of various power plants, fertiliser plants, CGD plants, and other industries throughout the country. The gas pipeline system has aided broad industrialization and resulted in considerable socioeconomic changes across the country.

Bridging the physical gap between demand and supply centres in an efficient, safe, and environmentally responsible manner is a major problem. Gas transportation by pipeline is a safe, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly alternative to most other types of energy transfer.

Therefore the correct answer is option ‘D’.

Note: The government acknowledges the need to improve the country's natural gas transmission infrastructure and has been driving the construction of a natural gas pipeline that connects all of the country's regions, forming a Natural Gas Grid (NGG).
