The principal component of natural gas, methane is a significant and plentiful fuel. Burning one molecule of methane in the presence of oxygen releases one molecule of CO2 (carbon dioxide) and two molecules of H2O (water):
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

It depends on the atmosphere.
In O2 or air at ordinary temperatures:
CH4 + 202 --> CO2 + 2H20
In nitrogen,
CH4 + N2 --> HCN + NH3
(not real sure about the HCN, but NH3 is made this way)

CH4 + 2O2 + Ignition ---> CO2 + 2H2O + Heat
