The correct answer is - natural gas.

The natural gas is a fossil fuel, meaning that it is derived from the decomposition of organic matter, and through time went under certain processes in the crust that made its current composition.

This fossil fuel is known to cause much less pollution than the other fossil fuels, especially when compared to the oil and the coal which are both very big polluters.

The natural gas is distributed to the homes and factories through pipelines.

The main pollution form the natural gas doesn't come from its direct usage, but instead form the leaking during its transportation and moving it from one container to another. It releases a lot of methane in those cases which ends up in the atmosphere and contributes to the Greenhouse effect, but that is only very small amount.

How many air pollution affect Earth's climate
lawyer [7]
The pollutants released into the atmosphere cause local air pollution <span>. However, they also cause regional air pollution, as with huge plumes of smoke covering a large area, and acid rain. Beyond that, we are emitting such a high level of pollutants that they are causing serious global environmental problems: climate change and ozone depletion. The human race has become capable of affecting the atmosphere that encircles the Earth, and the very planet itself.</span>

Why did the spanish and portuguese launch voyages of exploration?
chubhunter [2.5K]
It is thanks to Amerigo Vespucci and Christopher Columbus that the land was discovered, and so spurred other countires such as Spain and Portugal into what now is called the Age of Discovery. Not be outdone by the other, both of these countries wished to seize control of the raw materials and land available for their own. What they did not expect was the wide trade off of contact with the Native Americans. This includes plants, animals, diseases, and even slaves.
