Abstract: Gaseous fuels are mixtures of combustible gases, oxygen, nitrogen and water vapor. They may be natural or homemade. The first category includes natural gas and petroleum gases. Coke oven gas, blast furnace gas, refinery gases, gas of gas producer, hydrogen etc. are considered artificial fuels. The gas exploitation is associated with the oil operation. In terms of energy, natural gas is a clean fuel, easily extracted, transported and stored, burned almost completely with high calorific value. Romania extracts significant quantities of natural gas, but also imports for industrial and household consumption needs

Keywords: gaseous fuel, calorific power
