Uses & Applications for Methane Gas by Industry
– Fuel
Methane is used in a wide range of fuels, including natural gas, liquefied natural gas, power-to-gas, and liquid methane rocket fuel. Typically transported in its liquid form due to liquid methane is about 1/600th the volume of gaseous methane due to its higher density.
– Chemical
Used for feedstock for synthesis gas production.
