摘要：

Horizontal drilling and multistage hydraulic fracturing technologies have enabled the rapid expansion of natural gas production from organic-rich shale formations around the world. Abundant new supplies of natural gas have made possible large-scale fuel switching from-coal to natural gas in electrical power generation in the United States. This fuel substitution has had beneficial effects on air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, along with significant economic impacts as a fuel for consumers and industry. But fuel switching to natural gas will not be sufficient by itself to combat long-term climate change; further decarbonization by eventually switching to noncarbon energy sources will also be required. In this context, global shale gas resources represent a critically important transition fuel on the path to a decarbonized energy future.
