According to the nomenclature used by market research firm Wood Mackenzie , most of the gas that is already widely used as an industrial chemical is either brown, if it's made through the gasification of coal or lignite; or gray, if it is made through steam methane reformation, which typically uses natural gas as the feedstock.
