Natural Gas History

The first commercialised natural gas occurred in Britain and used it in 1785 to light houses and streets. The United States used natural gas for the same purpose in 1816, produced from coal. Over the next years, natural gas was used exclusively as a light source, and in 1885 Robert Bunsen’s invention opened new opportunities for its use. After building effective pipelines in the 20th century, the natural expanded to home heating and cooking. Furthermore, its use expanded to appliances such as oven ranges and water heaters, manufacturing and processing plants, and boilers to generate electricity.
