A greenhouse gas (sometimes abbreviated GHG) is a gas in an atmosphere that absorbs and emits radiation within the thermal infrared range. This process is the fundamental cause of the greenhouse effect.The primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.Without greenhouse gases, the average temperature of Earth's surface would be about 15 Â°C (27 Â°F) colder than the present average of 14 Â°C (57 Â°F).he primary greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere are water vapor, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and ozone.

Natural gas is one of the cleanest, safest, and most useful forms of energy in our day-to-day lives. Natural gas is a hydrocarbon, which means it is made up of compounds of hydrogen and carbon.The simplest hydrocarbon is methane; it contains one carbon atom and four hydrogen atoms.Natural gas can be found by itself or in association with oil.lberta s non-conventional natural gas potential includes coal bed methane (CBM), also known as natural gas in coal. The volume of this natural gas source, which is found in coal seams, is estimated to be about 500 Tcf of gas-in-place.
