Natural gas. See link. Composition of methane can be from 70 to 90%, and ethane, butane and propane will comprise the rest of the hydrocarbons in natural gas. Impurities such as hydrogen sulfide and nitrogen are found in natural gas.

No. carbon dioxide (CO2) is released by burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity.

Methane (CH4) is released from cattle, from rice paddies and from the anaerobic decomposition of any organic material (pig manure, melting lakes and tundra, rotting wood and other sources).

Methane is present on the giant gas planets yet on earth it is considered to be a fossil fuel how can there be fossil fuels on other planets or is the premise that methane is of fossil origin false?

The term "fossil fuel" is not a category of matter, but just how that fuel became the way it was. It refers to any substance which can be used as fuel and which originally came from living matter (such as prehistoric plants). It is false that all methane is a "fossil fuel" since only methane deposits that exist as a result of fossilization of plants and animals that died millions of years ago is a fossil fuel. Other methane is not. Methane created in any other manner is not a fossil fuel.
