Urged natural gas reform, maybe a sweetener needed? (10,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

granulated sugar

'a sweetener needed?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'urged natural gas reform' is the wordplay.
'reform' is an anagram indicator (letters in a new form).
'urged'+'natural'+'gas'='urgednaturalgas'
'urgednaturalgas' with letters rearranged gives 'GRANULATED SUGAR'.

'maybe' is the link.

(Other definitions for granulated sugar that I've seen before include "White sweetener" , "sweetener needed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
