Given the fact that it has natural gas as its source of energy. Why can’t it simply by any method be used to produce energy?

It *can*, it’s just not worth it. The Darwaza crater isn’t actually putting out that much gas; Turkeminstan has tons of good natural gas wells, it’s not worth trying to tap a low pressure/high area vent like the crater.
A working natural gas well puts pure gas out nicely in a pipe. The Darwaza crater gas is large and diluted…to capture that gas you’d have to somehow cap the whole thing with an airtight cover. Why bother?
