Yes natural gas is relatively "clean" burning especially when compared to coal, fuel oil or other heavy fossil fuels. For reference here is a breakdown of typical natural gas: HYDROCARBONS Methane - 70-98% Ethane - 1-10% Propane - trace-5% Butane - trace-2% Pentane - trace-1% Hexane - trace-0.5% Heptane - none-trace NONHYDROCARBONS Nitrogen - trace-15% CO2 - trace-1% Hydrogen Sulfide - trace occasionally Helium - trace-5% This from "Petroleum Production for the Non-technical Person" - PennWell Publishing Typically (as I understand the process) the coal-bed methane stream is mixed w/ the natural gas stream within the transportation pipeline or before entering. There is such thing as rich or wet gas that can be processed for its liquid or dry or lean gas (the opposite). Casinghead gas is gas obtained from a well in association w/ crude oil. Residue gas is any gas suitable for sale as commercial natural gas that comes from a processing plant (probably not much involvement w. MTEI here). Sweet gas means that the content of sulfur dioxide and CO2 is low enough that the gas may be sold commercially without further effort to remove these compounds. Sour gas denotes the opposite. Eric
