Short answer: its renewable.
Longer answer:
Naturally formed pockets of methane will not renew themselves for thousands of years. However, methane can be made from biodegradable organic materials and those materials are renewable.
So while it may be possible for us to use up all the naturally stored methane underground (though its not likely); we can always just make more by growing the organic materials needed to create it.
So it depends on which source of methane you are talking about, naturally formed pockets of it are not renewable, but man made methane is renewable.

∙ 12y agowell this is a hard question to answer:
it is the main component in natural gas so it is main source is natural gas which is non renewable. however, it comes from the digestion of animals (faeces) and the decomposition of vegetation and waste gasses which are renewed everyday so it is sort of renewable and non-renwable. however it is a very harmful gas it contributes to global warming as it is a greenhouse gas

What is the producer of renewable methane?
LANDFILL
Ores containing methane are examples of non-renewable resources. Is this statement true?
No.
Is natural gas an inexhaustible renewable or nonrenewable resource?
Natural as, methane (CH4), is non-renewable. It is one of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
Is natural gas a renewable or non-renewable resource?
While natural gas is a fossil fuel and not renewable, methane (the main component of natural gas) is recoverable from many industrial processes such as anaerobic digestion and by tapping into gas created by landfill sites, This secondary source is producible as it involves the chemical reduction of biological materials.
Is natural gas a renewable natural resource?
Natural gas, methane, the fossil fuel, is NOT a renewable resource.Natural gas, methane, produced from pig manure and rotting vegetation and collected from landfills IS a renewable resource.It cannot be renewed from its original source as fossil fuel. Much of the natural gas we are burning now formed in deposits buried during the Devonian period, 300 million years ago. It is possible natural gas could form in as little as 50 million years.None of the fossil fuels are considered to be renewable in that sense. But, since natural gas is primarily methane, and methane is readily available and obtainable from renewable sources other than gas wells drilled into conventional underground reservoirs, it can be considered renewable.Methane can be derived from organic matter undergoing decomposition. For example in many parts of India, methane is generated through decomposition of both human and livestock feces, gathered and used as cooking gas. Methane can be recovered from organic matter decomposing in land fills and through processing of animal waste. .

What are renewable energy sources that are on Uranus?
Methane...
Are fuel cells a renewable or non renewable source of energy?
Fuel cells are a manufactured item and are not renewable. The fuel that is used in the fuel cells can either be renewable (alcohol, methane from waste digestion,hydrogen from wind or solar conversion of water) or non-renewable (Hydrogen or methane from oil and gas production, alcohol from industrial processes)
What non-renewable resources does Romania have?
Examples: oil, methane, coal.
Ores containing methane are examples of non-renewable resources. Is this statement true?
No.
What non renewable energy which can be used to generate electricity?
Coal is the one we use the most of. Oil comes to mind. Nuclear energy is non-renewable. Methane is renewable, but not used much, nor easily renewable or environmentally freindly.
Is a fire a nonrenewable resource?
Fire isn't a resource. Fires can burn either renewable fuels (wood, methane) or non-renewable fuels (oil, coal).
