- Methane is primarily used as fuel. The combustion of methane is highly exothermic since energy is released in the form on natural gas when methane is combusted. This natural gas is used directly to heat homes and commercial buildings. It is also used in the generation of electric power.
- Since methane is a huge energy source, it is used as an alternative vehicle fuel. It is called CNG or compressed natural gas. Compared to diesel and petrol, it is cheaper and more eco friendly. People can also use it for a fuel to activate turbines and gas boilers in the industry and factory.
- Methane indirectly is responsible for producing some fertilizers since the hydrogen gas produced in the reformation of methane is used in another catalytic process to make ammonia which, in turn, is converted to important fertilizers. (Schreiner and Shakhashiri, 2014). (Maley, 2009).
