Natural gas is a type of fossil fuel (formed from the remains of dead plants and animals) that largely consists of methane, but also contains other components such as ethane, butane, propane, carbon dioxide or hydrogen.

Natural gas is mainly methane, CH4.

Sometimes trace amounts of other things are added, for instance odorizers so that it is possible to smell the gas in case of a leak in the household.

The term 'natural gas' means a fossil fuel in the gaseous state; used for cooking and heating homes.

It is obtained from porous rocks (by drilling into them), either on its own or together with Oil and sometimes coal.

Natural gas is a fossil fuel composed mostly of methane and small amounts of other hydrocarbons. It is formed from the decomposition of organic matter buried underground over millions of years. Natural gas is a versatile energy source used for heating, electricity generation, and as a fuel for vehicles.
