Methane CH4 Gas

Description

Methane is the simplest organic matter. As the main component of conventional natural gas, shale gas, combustible ice, etc., methane is a very important carbon-based resource. It is widely distributed in nature and is the main component of natural gas, biogas, pit gas, etc., commonly known as gas. It is also the hydrocarbon with the lowest carbon content (highest hydrogen content). It can be used as a fuel and a raw material for manufacturing substances such as hydrogen, carbon black, carbon monoxide, acetylene, hydrocyanic acid and formaldehyde. On April 2, 2018, researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory directly proved for the first time that methane is causing the greenhouse effect on the earth's surface to continue to increase.

Typical Application

• 
  Household Fuel
  Methane is a clean and efficient fuel widely used for home heating, cooking, power generation, etc. Compared with traditional energy sources, methane combustion produces fewer pollutants and is more environmentally friendly.
• 
  Automobile Fuel
  Methane is used as automobile fuel in the form of compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG), which helps reduce pollutant emissions in automobile exhaust.
• 
  Rocket Fuel
  Due to its high energy density and stable combustion, methane is widely used as rocket fuel.
• 
  Synthesis Gas
  Methane can be converted into synthesis gas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen) through steam reforming reaction, which is further used to synthesize chemical products such as methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen.
