Natural gas power generation is a clean, environmentally friendly use of fossil fuel. However, natural gas development has strong competition from renewable energy and at the same time, the environmental impact of methane leakages during natural gas exploitation and transportation has raised concerns as to its overall safety. Through the research of literature, this paper finds that NGPG has experienced three stages: natural gas direct combustion, combined cycle generation, and distributed generation, that is, natural gas power generation technology paradigm. At the same time, hybrid power generation is due for a paradigm shift which will ensure that natural gas development is more competitive in the future; however, for this to happen, adequate policy support is required.
