What is the word equation for methane burned in a Bunsen burner?

No it is not essential. It will burn in air or oxygen if ignited by some spark or match but there are many other ways to get burning in chemistry. The requirements for burning are fuel, oxygen and heat. Oxygen can be supplied by the air for many fires. Heat must often be introduced initially to ignite the fuel but the heat of combustion will then be enough to sustain the burning. Fuel could be methane but there are many other potential fuels in chemistry, for example hydrogen, propane, wood ... Many dry foodstuffs will burn in air if lit.
