  • Natural Gas the Composition of Natural Gas Is 95% Methane, Almost
    Natural gas The composition of natural gas is 95% methane, almost 4% ethane and nitrogen, and 1% carbon dioxide and propane. It is produced by the natural transformation of organic materials over millions of years. Methane: the simplest hydrocarbon Methane gas belongs to the hydrocarbon family. A hydrocarbon is an organic composition that contains only carbon and hydrogen atoms. With just one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms, methane (CH4) is the simplest hydrocarbon. Some other hydrocarbons are: propane (C3H8), ethane (C2H6) and butane (C4H10). Benefits of Natural Gas Natural gas is increasingly the fuel of choice in today's homes. Below are the top reasons to choose natural gas for your home. 1 | Affordability Natural gas costs less to use in your home than electricity, heating oil, propane or kerosene. On average, electricity costs almost four times more than natural gas. 2 | Convenience and reliability Natural gas is piped directly into your home. It's always there when you need it, and you never have to worry about running out of fuel or arranging for deliveries. 3 | Comfort Natural gas heat feels warmer than heat produced by an electric heat pump. 4 | Domestic supply Nearly 100% of the natural gas consumed in the U.S. is produced in North America with 90% coming directly from the U.S. 5 | Environmental impact Simply put - natural gas is the cleanest-burning energy source for your home. The combustion of natural gas emits 45% less carbon dioxide than coal. 6 | Energy efficiency Natural gas is highly efficient. About 90% of the natural gas produced is delivered to customers as useful energy.
