Methane (/ˈmɛθeɪn/ or /ˈmiːθeɪn/) is a chemical compoond wi the chemical formula CH
4. It is the simplest alkane an the main component o naitural gas. The relative abundance o methane maks it an attractive fuel. Houiver, acause it is a gas at normal condeetions, methane is difficult tae transport frae its soorce.
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, mair potent than carbon dioxide unit per unit.[3] The concentration o methane in the Yird's atmosphere in 1998, expressed as a mole fraction, wis 1745 nmol/mol (pairts per billion, ppb). Bi 2008, houiver, global methane levels, which haed stayed maistly flat syne 1998, haed risen tae 1800 nmol/mol.[4]
