    What is Natural Gas

    Natural gas is a fossil fuel composed primarily of methane (CH4), formed from the remains of ancient marine organisms buried under layers of sediment and rock. It is found deep beneath the Earth's surface and can be extracted through drilling. Natural gas is a clean-burning energy source used widely for heating, cooking, electricity generation, and as an industrial feedstock.

    Key uses of Natural Gas

    1. Residential heating: Used in furnaces and water heaters to provide warmth.

    2. Cooking: Fuels stoves and ovens for preparing food.

    3. Electricity generation: Powers turbines in power plants to produce electricity.

    4. Industrial applications: Acts as a raw material in manufacturing chemicals and fertilisers.

    Safety considerations for Natural Gas use

    1. Proper ventilation: Ensure adequate airflow when using gas appliances to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.

    2. Regular maintenance: Have appliances checked regularly by professionals to ensure safe operation.

    3. Leak detection: Install detectors to identify leaks early; natural gas is odourless but often treated with a sulfur-like smell for safety.

    4. Emergency procedures: Familiarise yourself with emergency protocols in case of a leak or fire.
