    Hi,
    Natural gas is called clean fuel because:
    - Natural gas burns cleaner than the other fossil fuels such as coal and oil due to the highly efficient combustion process, which produces very few by-products that are released into the atmosphere as pollutants.
    - Natural gas produces 70% less carbon dioxide emissions compared to other fossil fuels.
    - Due to the clean burning process, natural gas does not leave residues like soot or ash when compared to coal.
    - Natural gas offers a high heating value, approximately 24,000 Btu per pound.
    - Natural gas is non-toxic and is not poisonous to humans if inhaled in small volumes.

    Epca 's report on Clean Fuels, which it submitted to the Supreme Court in early July 2001, argues that no hydrocarbon fuel can be specified as a "clean fuel" which does not cause pollution or is not otherwise injurious to health.
