hydrocarbon
Is that supposed to be a euphemism that doesn't trigger the same synapses as "fossil fuels" does or are they trying to sound clever?

Same shit as "natural gas".
Don't worry, it's organic certified! -

Don't worry, it's organic certified!The term natural gas stems from the fact that it is already gas when it is excavated. This is different from the initially prevalent Coal gas or "Town gas" that was processed from coal and also distributed in pipelines for lighting purposes. Coal gas mostly is a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide and as such quite different from the methane-propane mix that is natural gas.

That's one of the names it has, same thing as saying oïl and gas.
They probably dont know exactly what they will find (Oil Gas or condensate)

Nah, that's definitely intentional use of language. If you're not writing in a chemical context and you want to be understood, the term has no place.
