Not at non-cryogenic temperatures (i.e. liquefaction is therefore
infeasible for most use cases).

The N2 portion would require that you cool it to liquid nitrogen
temperature (77K, roughly -200C or -330F).  This would liquefy (or would
it freeze?) the CO and CH4 portions.  The CO2 portion would freeze, and
would have to be separated.

But the H2 portion would still be gaseous - it would be even more
impractical to liquefy it.
