Natural gas is a mixture of gases, where methane represents more than 90%; it is extracted, purified, transported, odorized and distributed to our homes, but it hasn't always been that way.
Once (until the beginning of the 70's) combustible gas was an artificial product, produced through coal dry distillation. It was a mixture of hydrocarbons and other gases and was called "town gas". Previously, it was called "illuminating gas", since it was mainly used for lighting, before the advent of electricity.
