Does the hydrogenation of methanol produce methane?

Under what conditions does CH30H+H2=CH4+H2O occur? Have you encountered such a situation?
Viewed in reverse, this reaction resembles the conversion of methane into hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which then react to form methanol.
There is such a reaction. Conditions such as over 150 degrees, high pressure, and a catalyst are required. It hardly occurs without a catalyst. However, methanol decomposes at high temperatures.
