Tag Uses Comments

Using this tag is discouraged.
Sometimes used for a site where natural petroleum gas is extracted or produced – see also industrial=oil below.
As of 29 January 2023 note: Many uses of industrial=gas are related to infrastructure features like pipelines, substations or storage tanks. Now these uses are deprecated by Proposal:Utility facilities.
You might also consider a more specific value for the industrial land use instead of "gas". See taginfo.
