A [[hydrocarbon]] (HC) is a substance that is made of [[carbon]] and [[hydrogen]]. They are also called [[alkane]]s.
Some examples are [[methane]], [[ethane]], [[propane]] (used for fuel), [[butane]] (used in lighters), [[pentane]], [[hexane]], [[heptane]], and [[octane]].
Although they are highly flammable, HCs may offer advantages as ODS substitutes because they are inexpensive to produce and they have zero [[ozone depletion potential]], very low [[global warming potential]] (GWP), and low [[toxicity]].
