Natural gas is explicitly categorized as a type of fossil fuel in multiple contexts, including its role in global energy consumption [1], electricity generation {fact:8, fact:10, fact:11}, and its contribution to anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions [2]. Furthermore, natural gas is frequently discussed alongside other fossil fuels like coal and oil when evaluating energy systems, environmental impacts, and the potential for transition to alternative energy sources {fact:1, fact:2, fact:3, fact:4, fact:6, fact:7}.
