No methane does not conduct electricity in any form. Methane is a covalent molecule and does not break into ions (which are responsible to conduct the electricity between two electrodes) so methane is non conductor.

∙ 15y agoGas can not generally be turned into electric current. Electric current is created by passing a magnet past a wire. Therefore to accomplish your desired goal, we must figure out how to make a gas move a magnet past a wire.
If your gas burns, we could heat water up enough to become steam and drive a wheel (such as a turbine) that is connected to a generator. This is the most conventional method used.
If the gas is compressed we can use that compression to move the turbine.
In any event, electric power is created by moving that generator (Magnets and coils). That creates the electric current.

∙ 12y agoThe produced biogas is a mixture of about 50-70% methane and 30-40% carbon dioxide. It also contains several trace gases like hydrogen sulphide (H2S), nitrogen (N2), hydrogen (H2), ammonia (NH3) and carbon monoxide. This gas can be used in many ways (combustion for the production of electricity and heat, feed in into a gas grid, in fuel cells or even as fuel). The most common alternative is the utilisation in a gas engine for the production of electricity and heat. The produced electricity can be fed in to the public electricity grid, receiving funded tariffs for it. To optimize the utilisation of the produced biogas the utilisation of the excess heat from the combustion of the gas should be considered. This heat can be used as process heat for the fermentation process or for heating parts of the plant or adjacent agricultural buildings (e.g. stables). The best option for using the excess heat is to sell it to an external heat consumer.

∙ 12y agono because it's a bad conductor. it lacks free moving ions
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoNo. Methane is a very poor conductor of electricity.

How do you use natural gas as energy?
It can be burned in gas cookers, or gas fires or used in power stations to fuel turbines which drive alternators to make electricity.
Does gas generate electricity?
No, but if gas is combustible then it may be used as a fuel to run the generators for the production of electricity.
What is heat rate in gas turbine combustion?
The amount of fuel (natural gas) used to produce electricity.
Is gas and electricity subsidised in the UK?
No. In the U.K. there is a 5% tax on domestic gas and electricity.
Can Electricity can be used to make a temporary magnet.?
yes it can.
How are fossil fuels used to produce electricity?
Coal, oil, or natural gas is used to make electricity by burning it. The heat is used to drive a steam turbine that is hooked up to a generator.
How is oiled used?
For gas and electricity
How to make electricity from the pit latrine?
Technically you could make electricity from a pit latrine if you could somehow harness the gas that is produced in the process of biodegredation. Methane is used for fuel.

No, but if gas is combustible then it may be used as a fuel to run the generators for the production of electricity.
Can natural gas be used to generate electricity?
As a fuel it is used to run the generators which produce the electricity.
How can natural gas be used to generate electricity?
As a fuel it is used to run the generators which produce the electricity.
What type of energy released greenhouse gases when used to make electricity?
coal and natural gas
Which type of energy releases greenhouse gases when used to make electricity?
Natural gas
How are solar cars different from gas cars?
solar cars get energy from the sun and transfur it in to electricity gas cars burn gas to make electricity
How does natural gas make electricity?
Natural gas is ignited and the heat is used to boiled water and generate steam. Steam is then forced through impeller turbines spinning them in turn spinning Generator Coils that Produce the electricity.
Can gas be converted into a source of power?
Yes, gas can be converted into a source of power through processes like combustion in an engine or a turbine to generate electricity. Natural gas, for example, is commonly used to power electricity generators and heat homes.
