There are several gasses used for 'burning' depending on the application, for example natural gas (methane) is used for cooking, central heating and in power stations etc, propane is used as a portable (bottled) gas for cooking and heating, industry uses propane for cutting scrap metal etc, acetylene is also used for cutting and welding and the Jewelry industry uses hydrogen gas as a fuel.
