Methane (US /ËmÉÎ¸eÉªn/ or UK /ËmiËÎ¸eÉªn/) is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH4 (one atom of carbon and four atoms of hydrogen). It is a group 14 hydride and the simplest alkane, and is the main constituent of natural gas. The relative abundance of methane on Earth makes it an attractive fuel, though capturing and storing it poses challenges due to its gaseous state under normal conditions for temperature and pressure.

But they cook by heating the food.So, an oven uses either chemical energy in the form of gas, or electrical energy, but either one is converted to heat energy to do the actual cooking. To find out how much energy your gas oven uses, find the BTUs (usually on an information plate inside the door or in the drawer). Also find the gas rate for your home. â¦   * If your company charges in CCFs, multiply your CCF cost by 1.024 to get cost/therm.
