Natural gas (also called fossil gas, methane gas, or simply gas) is a naturally occurring mixture of gaseous hydrocarbons consisting primarily of methane (95%) [1] in addition to various smaller amounts of other higher alkanes.
Fugitive gas emissions are emissions of gas (typically natural gas, which contains methane) to atmosphere or groundwater [1] which result from oil and gas or coal mining activity. [2] In 2016, these emissions, when converted to their equivalent impact of carbon dioxide , accounted for 5.8% of all global greenhouse gas emissions .
