From rockets to race cars, natural gas is being developed to replace conventional fuels in unexpected ways. This article discussing the future of fuels could be used alongside Chemical, Earth and Space and Physical Sciences for years 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

This could be used alongside a second education resource on methane fuels that can be found here.
