Description

Methane is a chemical Compound with the chemical formula CH4 (one atom of Carbon and four atoms of Hydrogen). It is the simplest Alkane and the main constituent of Natural Gas. The relative abundance of Methane on Earth makes it an economically attractive Fuel, although capturing and storing it poses technical challenges due to its gaseous state under normal conditions for temperature and pressure.
