Natural gas is a clean form of fossil fuel with abundant reserves in gas and oil fields in many parts of the world.

Natural gas, one of the cleanest forms of fossil fuels, is a colourless and odourless combustible gas found in gas and oil fields. There are abundant reserves of natural gas in many parts of the world, including Russia, Australia, China and Indonesia. The natural gas we use comes from Northwestern Australia.

Natural gas is made up mainly of methane, which is composed of carbon and hydrogen. It burns more cleanly than other fossil fuels, producing fewer emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulphur oxides (SOx). When natural gas is released into the atmosphere, it dissipates rapidly as it is lighter than air.
