Global Water Treatment Chemicals Market Gaining Momentum—Projected to Reach USD 65.2 Billion by 2027
Increasing methane contamination in water due to shale gas exploration driving the market Natural gas trapped inside the shale formation is known as shale gas. Fine-grained sedimentary rocks, generally known as shale, can be a rich source of petroleum and natural gas. Natural gas is usually trapped within the pores of sedimentary rocks. Shale gas is becoming increasingly popular because it is considered a "cleaner" coal, emitting less than half the CO 2.
