Methane (CH4) – Definition and Pronunciation
What is Methane?
Methane (CH4) is the simplest hydrocarbon and the main constituent of natural gas, it is also known as C1 in the carbon complexity chain.
Examples of Methane
A disadvantage of LNG is the potential increase in methane emissions (CH4). Methane slip, and other releases, can represent a serious problem, since methane has high global warming potential; methane leakages seriously affect the GHG reduction potential.

On top of this the interface can also unveil potential training discrepancies, equipment mismatches and other factors that can, ultimately, influence Safety and affect the Environment with unnecessary methane emissions.
From “The Role of LNG Bunkering Infrastructure”.
LNG (liquefied natural gas) is the name given to natural gas that has been converted to liquid form by being cooled to a very low temperature. To attain a liquid phase, the temperature must be lower than the critical temperature (-82 °C in the case of methane).
From “LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) as Fuel”.
