Chief constituent of natural gas (7)

I believe the answer is:

methane

(Other definitions for methane that I've seen before include "Main component of natural gas" , "compound" , "Naturally occurring flammable gas" , "Main constituent of natural gas" , "Combustible atmosphere" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
