  1. In liquid form, natural gas takes up an incredible 1/600th of the space that it would in gaseous state.

  2. A typical pipeline may contain a pressure of about 65 atmospheres. The gas moves at about 24km/h.

  3. The rotten egg odour we've come to associate with natural gas comes from the additive called mercaptan, a chemical that has a sulphur-like smell.

  4. When natural gas is burned it produces mostly carbon dioxide and water vapour. These are the same substances emitted when we breathe.

  5. Natural gas is usually measured in cubic feet (volume) or Btu (heat content, British Thermal Units). One Btu is approximately equal to the energy released in the burning of a kitchen match. One cubic foot of natural gas has about 1031 Btu. A candy bar has about 1000 Btu.

  6. Malaysia has the 12th largest gas reserves and the 27th largest crude oil reserves in the world as at January 2001. As at 1 January 2001, Malaysia's gas reserves stood at 97.6 trillion cubic feet (tcf). This translates to about 67 years of natural gas availability.

  7. A home that uses natural gas for heating, water heating, clothes drying and cooking contributes 60 percent less carbon dioxide to the atmosphere than an all-electric home whose power is generated at a coal-fired power plant.
