Natural gas

From Conservapedia

Jump to: navigation, search

Natural gas is a petroleum product consisting of about 70% methane. The rest is made up of ethane (15%) and other hydrocarbons.[1] It is naturally oderless, so odor is added to make a leak detectible.

Natural gas is considered cleaner than coal or oil, as it produces less pollution and carbon dioxide for the same amount of energy.
