Methane (/ËmÉÎ¸eÉªn/ or /ËmiËÎ¸eÉªn/) is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH4 (one atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen).ethane can be produced by hydrogenating carbon dioxide through the Sabatier process. Methane is also a side product of the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide in the Fischer-Tropsch process. This technology is practiced on a large scale to produce longer chain molecules than methane.
