Natural gas is a fossil fuel primarily composed of methane and is used extensively as a source of energy for heating, cooking, and electricity generation. It is considered a cleaner alternative to other fossil fuels like coal and oil due to its lower carbon dioxide emissions when burned. Natural gas is often found in underground reservoirs, either associated with oil fields or in isolated deposits, and is extracted via drilling. It can be transported through pipelines in its gaseous state or as liquefied natural gas (LNG) to be shipped over long distances. The use of natural gas is pivotal in the global energy mix, offering a transitional solution towards more sustainable energy systems, although its extraction and consumption still pose significant environmental challenges, including methane leaks and its finite availability.
