Natural gas is just methane in the ground.

Methane burns a lot cleaner than oil and coal, but yes it still emits a lot of carbon. Gas companies love to market the lower carbon footprint of methane so that’s why.

There actually does exist clean renewable methane, typically called green methane or biomethane, that’s the exact same chemical, but made renewably, typically from bacteria digesting plant material(and if you regrow the plants its renewable).
