	In its unprocessed state, natural gas is composed of varying quantities of [[methane]], [[ethane]], [[propane]], [[butane]]s, and [[pentane]]s. Often impurities such as [[oxygen]], [[hydrogen sulfide]], nitrogen, [[water]] and [[carbon dioxide]] are also present.<ref name=~~Natgasorg~~/> Once natural gas has been processed for consumption, it is primarily methane with trace amounts of other ~~constituents~~.

	As the demand for natural gas rises around the world, so does the need to transport it overseas. One method of transporting natural gas is in it's liquefied form, or [[LNG]], and this is done using large ships.

	==Advantages and Disadvantages==		==Advantages and Disadvantages==
	Natural gas has a high [[energy density]] (for a fossil fuel) and flexible applications, which make it a popular [[fuel]]. People advocating for natural gas often point to it as the cleanest burning [[fossil fuel]]s.<ref name=~~Natgasorg>Natural Gas.org. (2011). "Background," [Online]. Available: http:~~/~~/www.naturalgas.org/overview/background.asp. [Accessed 20 October 2013].</ref~~> Even as a cleaner fossil fuel, natural gas is still made up of hydrocarbons and burning it releases [[co2\|CO<sub>2</sub>]] and other [[pollutant]]s ([[NOx]] being a problem specifically). Natural gas use is often an improvement over [[coal]], however, its [[hydrocarbon combustion\|combustion]] still contributes to ~~air~~ [[pollution]] and [[climate change]].
