Methane (CH4) is a colorless, odorless, and highly flammable gas. It is the primary component of natural gas and occurs naturally from
biological and geological processes. Methane is widely used as a fuel and feedstock in various industries such as energy, chemicals,
and transportation. Due to its high energy content and clean-burning characteristics, it is a key fuel for heating, electricity generation,
and as a hydrogen source.
