Natural gas
Natural gas is a fossil fuel that is mostly composed of methane (CH4), the simplest hydrocarbon without any smell or taste.
Natural gas is an ideal fossil fuel because it is very clean and easy to transport and use. It is cleaner than oil and coal and is increasingly seen as a solution to climate change and air pollution. Natural gas has a variety of applications – it is used in households, for heating, in retail and service industries, in manufacturing, and for the production of heat and electricity.
