What is Methane?

Chemically speaking, methane has the formula CH4 (one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms). The simplest alkane and the primary component of natural gas, it is a group-14 hydride. Methane is a fuel that is commercially appealing due to its relative abundance on Earth, but its gaseous state under normal temperature and pressure makes its capture and storage difficult.

Methane is a naturally occurring gas that is produced by both geological and biological processes. It can be found underground and under the seafloor. Methane clathrates, which are found beneath the seafloor, are the largest methane reservoir. Methane is referred to be atmospheric methane when it enters the atmosphere and the surface.
