What is another word for town gas?
Pronunciation: [tˈa͡ʊn ɡˈas] (IPA) 
Town gas is a type of fuel, which is derived from coal or oil. It is primarily used for heating and cooking purposes. However, town gas can be referred to by other names, such as coal gas, manufactured gas, or syngas. Coal gas was the first term for it since it was primarily made by heating coal in a closed container to produce gas. Manufactured gas is generally used in North America and Australia, while syngas is used in industrial settings. Regardless of the name, town gas has been used for over 200 years and has since provided an alternative fuel source for those who require electricity.
