Natural gas is mostly methane, CH4.
It is very clean burning producing only water and CO2
It can be sent through pipelines easily
it can be condensed into LNG
It can be put in tanks for areas without pipelines
It is expensive
it is good for cooking because it does not need a chimney
it is used in food production, milk production, bakeries
it is used for power generation where there is not another source of energy such as water power, fuel oil, coal, nuclear
good for gas driers,
used in manufacturing where heat is needed
there are natural gas cars used in fleets, as it is difficult to refill
A good list by Science Teacher.
But nat. gas is about the half the cost of petroleum energy including fuel oil, though it is much more expensive than coal.
Our major county power plant used to be dual fuel capable with either oil or nat. gas. Several years ago they re-built it for nat. gas only & removed the oil storage tanks.
