Natural gas is a fossil fuel consisting primarily of methane that is found in oil and gas fields underground. It is extracted and processed for distribution through pipelines to consumers for use in heating homes and powering appliances. While it provides a cheap source of energy, natural gas is a non-renewable resource and its combustion produces byproducts that are not eco-friendly.
