Methane is the answer, By the destructive distillation of coal, we can obtain coal gas, coal tar and ammonia. Coke is left as a residue. Coal gas contains methane, carbon monoxide and hydrogen. Since all the three are combustible, coal gas is a good fuel with a high calorific value.

What is gas made of corn called?

Corn is a high-starch constituent that is used in the production of Ethanol, a liquid fuel produced by a process called fermentation that is used as a blend with petrol or as a 100% Ethanol constituent to yield Bio-fuel a.k.a. Bio-gasoline. This cannot be used in a gaseous form to power IC engines. On the other hand, when corn, which is rich in starch (Carbohydrates), is Anaerobically Digested (decomposed by bacteria in the absence of oxygen), it yields a mixture of Methane and Carbon-dioxide. This gas is called bio-gas. This is similar to Natural Gas and can be used to power IC engines, CHPs or Gas Turbines.
