Natural gas component (6)

I believe the answer is:

ethane

'natural gas component' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ethane that I've seen before include "Ate hen (anag) - hydrocarbon gas" , "Fuel" , "Chemical" , "Flammable gas; eat hen (anagram)" , "Athene (anag.); a colourless gas" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today, the Universal and the LA Times.
