Quick Facts:

• Natural gas is a byproduct of decaying organic matter in rock layers formed below the Earth’s surface millions of years ago. As the matter decayed, the gas was trapped or isolated in the rock formations which prevented it from surfacing.
• Today, natural gas is recognized as the world’s cleanest-burning fossil fuel. It has a low carbon dioxide content and is often used as a fuel to produce other forms of energy.
• Once processed for commercial use, natural gas can be safely used for a variety of purposes such as heating homes and businesses, generating electricity or fueling vehicles. It also can be paired with renewable power sources such as wind and solar to make these forms of intermittent energy more reliable and available.
• Because natural gas is clean, safe and plentiful, it will remain an important part of the world’s future energy needs.
