Description

Natural gas is a fossil fuel primarily composed of methane (CH4), along with smaller amounts of other hydrocarbons and nonhydrocarbon gases such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and water vapor. It forms over millions of years from the remains of plants and microorganisms subjected to heat and pressure beneath the Earth's surface. Widely used for electricity generation, heating, cooking, and as an industrial feedstock, natural gas is valued for its efficiency and relatively lower emissions compared to coal and oil. Natural gas also plays a key role in transitioning to renewable energy by serving as a cleaner-burning bridge fuel.
