From GAWDAwiki
Butane is a gaseous component of natural gas, much like gasoline is a component of crude oil. When butane is compressed, it becomes a liquid very quickly. Once it is released into the air, however, it reacts with an ignition source to become a highly flammable gas. Unlike some other natural gas derivatives, butane only releases carbon dioxide as a waste product, not carbon monoxide.[1]
