If we are talking about one single carbon atom, then 4 hydrogen atoms can be bonded to a carbon atom, because there is 4 electrons in the valence shell, and a valence shell needs 8 electrons in total, which causes the carbon to have 4 open bonds. A hydrogen has only one electron in its valence shell of 2, and needs one more to complete it. So, each hydrogen connects to 1 of 4 bonds on the carbon to complete the valence electron.
Fun fact, CH4 is methane.

The materials that contain this stored carbon are coal, oil, peat and natural gas.
The collective term for these four materials is Fossil fuel , decomposing fungi, bacteria, and worms. 
Many of the carbon based fuels are categorized as fossil fuels because they formed from the decayed organisms over millions of years. Fossil fuels are the buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.
