1) Using Gas In The Home
In our homes, we end up utilizing the material every day. The electric power sector of our society puts natural gas to use to generate electricity. In fact, the electric power industry was the largest consumer of natural gas as of 2013. Around 34 percent of natural gas consumption is used to make the electricity that is used in both residential and commercial buildings throughout the United States.
Aside from electricity, the residential sector of society uses natural gas to heat up buildings, water, cook meals, and dry clothing. Pretty much anything that needs to be done in the home or commercial building that involves heat, is able to get done thanks to the production of natural gas.
2) Use In The Industrial Sector
The industrial sector makes similar use of natural gas liquids as a fuel for process heating and raw material to produce chemicals, fertilizers, and hydrogen.
Other industrial uses for natural gas:
- Antifreeze

Natural gas is an extremely diverse product, and the manufacturing industry has made great use of it as a heating source when making glass, steel, brick, and other everyday items that make up the fabric of our lives.
3) Transportation
Probably one of the biggest uses comes from using the material as vehicle fuel. In recent years natural gas liquids have proven to have had a significant advantage in vehicles over standard gasoline and diesel fuel.
