Answer:
Methane is the major component of natural gas.
Explanation:
Methane (CH4) is a colorless (colorless) and odorless (odorless) gas from the alkane family. It is also called "swamp gas" as it forms from anaerobic fermentation (lack of oxygen). Methane is the main component of natural gas.
Methane is a simple, highly flammable hydrocarbon that has little solubility in water and is one of the world's leading greenhouse compounds. Besides accelerating the greenhouse process, if inhaled it can cause several changes in humans, such as fainting, cardiac arrest, asphyxiation, among others. A sustainable alternative to using methane is the production of biogas, a renewable biofuel from burning biomass (waste and organic materials).
