Natural gas can obviously be created by non organic means. After all there is no life on Titan and that moon has oceans of methane. In addition unlike petroleum biology creates methane quickly and in vast quantities. If we were ever to find a way to economically extract methane hydrates we would have access to more than twice the amount of energy as contained in all other sources of “fossil” fuel. In addition the hydrates form quickly from decaying plankton. So you mine the area and in a few decades it is filled back up again. More like forestry than than traditional mining.
