However, an odorant is often added for safety purposes to detect leaks.
It is used for various purposes, including heating homes and buildings, generating electricity, and as a fuel for vehicles. Due to its relatively low carbon emissions compared to other fossil fuels, natural gas is often considered a cleaner alternative . It is also used as a feedstock for the production of chemicals, fertilizers , and other industrial products.
