    Keywords:- Hydrocarbon Mixture, Clean Fossil Fuel, Methane(CH4) is main constituent of natural gas.
    Pollution, Environment. Percentage of methane in natural gas is 70-90%. Natural gas is
    a greenhouse gas. It is a hydrocarbon mixture. Methane and
    I. INTRODUCTION ethane are in gaseous form under atmospheric conditions. The
    mixture also may have other hydrocarbons, such as

    IV. CONCLUSION

    Whole world is facing the problem of pollution. Scientist


    are working meticulously to find new ways to combat
    pollution. It is need of hour to find alternative sources of
    energy. Major constituent of natural gas is methane. Natural
    gas is clean source of fuel as compared to other sources of
    energy. Transportation and storage of natural gas is easy.
