      The term natural gas stems from the fact that it is already gas when it is excavated. This is different from the initially prevalent Coal gas or “Town gas” that was processed from coal and also distributed in pipelines for lighting purposes. Coal gas mostly is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide and as such quite different from the methane-propane mix that is natural gas.
