Butane is a component of natural gas, a vital fuel for the energy the world requires. Natural gas lacks color, odor, and shape. Though this could be a description for many different gases, natural gas has an exceptional capability that sets it apart from others. Natural gas is combustible, and when it is burned it emits a large amount of energy. Besides producing a copious amount of energy,when burned natural gas produces little harmful emissions (byproducts), and is a relatively clean process. Because of these characteristics, natural gas has become an integral source for human's need of energy. Natural gas has proven to be so valuable to the world that practically every component of daily life involves natural gas in some way or another. | Butane is a component of natural gas, a vital fuel for the energy the world requires.

Humans have an insatiable need for energy. We need it for cooking food, for staying warm, for entertainment, for production of materials, for transportation, for electricity, and much more. This enormous demand for energy initiated the search for alternative means to obtain it. Thus, natural energy was introduced. Presently, the energy gained from the use of natural gas ". . .accounts for 24 percent of total energy consumed in the United States, making it a vital component of the nation's energy supply," according to the Energy Information Administration. | Humans have an insatiable need for energy.

[http://www.naturalgas.org/overview/uses.asp Uses of Natural Gas]. ''Natural Gas''. Web. Published 2002.</ref> according to the Energy Information Administration. The significance of natural energy increased as the world realized its potential. Nowadays, natural gas is mainly used in the industrial sector, and secondly used in residential areas. Of course, the uses of natural gas are not limited to just these two sectors, but can be found in every area of modern living. | ||
