Study findings on Methane production

by Anjila Pandey | 28-03-2020 23:38 recommendations 0

Methane, the main component of natural gas, is of particular concern, because it can warm the planet more than 80 times as much as the same amount of carbon dioxide over a 20-year period. On top of fossil fuel production, livestock, landfills and other sources linked to human activity also emit methane.

A new research has found that oil and gas production may be responsible for a far larger share of the soaring levels of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, in the earth¡¯s atmosphere than previously thought.
Atmospheric concentrations of methane have more than doubled from pre-industrial times. 

A New York Times investigation sites last year, revealed that vast quantities of methane are being released from oil wells and other energy facilities instead of being captured.
Researchers at Rochester¡¯s Department of Earth and Environmental Studies found that methane emissions from natural phenomena were far smaller than estimates used to calculate global emissions. 

That means fossil-fuel emissions,contributing to methane production, from human activity, namely the production and burning of fossil fuels,were underestimated by 25 to 40 percent.

Therefore, methane is far more harmful for the atmosphere than estimated. Its sources of production are multiple. Still many researches have to be conducted regarding its direct and potential medium of methane production.

    Hello Anjila!!!

    I hope you are doing great!!

    Different industries, rice field,ruminants produces methane which is one of the major green house gases!!

    GREEN CHEERS!!

    Hello Anjila!!

    Methane is 80 times more causative agent of global warming rather than carbondioxide.
