As a clean energy,natural gas is of great significance in the energy transition.However,it has a negative impact on the environment because it generates waste gas,waste water,and waste resi-dues,etc.during the production process.To systematically understand the potential environmental im-pacts of onshore natural gas production and to promote green development of onshore natural gas,this pa-per analyzes the causes and characteristics of pollutants and the impact of major characteristic pollutants on the environment based on the production process of onshore natural gas from three major links:extrac-tion,gathering and purification,then put forward corresponding pollution prevention and control sugges-tions from the perspectives of waste water,waste gas,waste residue,and noise.The results of the paper contribute to a comprehensive and systematic understanding of the pollution production characteristics of the onshore natural gas production,provide a reference for pollution prevention and control in the onshore natural gas production process,and an assistance for the realization of the"double carbon"goal.
