What are the main components of household gas?

The main component of household gas is alkanes, of which methane accounts for the vast majority.

Natural gas is one of the safer fuels. It contains no carbon monoxide and is lighter than air. Once it leaks, it will spread upward immediately, and it is not easy to accumulate and form explosive gas. The safety is relatively higher than other fuels.

Using natural gas as energy can reduce the consumption of coal and oil, thus greatly improving the environmental pollution problem; As a clean energy source, natural gas can reduce sulfur dioxide and dust emissions by nearly 100%, carbon dioxide by 60% and nitrogen oxides by 50%, which is helpful to reduce the formation of acid rain, alleviate the global greenhouse effect and fundamentally improve the environmental quality.
