Methane is the main component of CNG. If you wouldn't compress it, could still use as a vehicle fuel but the range would be quite limited. Have you never seen pictures of cars running on gaseous fuels stored in fabric-reinforced rubber bags in Europe during WWII, or Chinese buses running on this system until mid-90s?

I might admit I would like to try that for fun if I were a farmer with a constant and free methane supply
