UN: Slashing methane emissions 'one of the best ways' to curb global temperature rise

Business Green

Methane emissions reduction could significantly reduce rates of global warming at a relatively low cost, major research warns. As such, the report emphasises that methane mitigation is "one of the best ways of limiting warming in this and subsequent decades".

4 Ways to Reduce Waste In Your Own Home

The Environmental Blog

Landfill waste is not just unsightly, it also poses risks to humans from harmful chemical leaks and has negative effects on the environment. Methane, which is released as organic matter in landfill decomposes, traps up to 20 times more heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Step away from the single use wipes.

Geological Hydrogen vs Fracking

Hydrogen Fuel News

Another pressing issue is methane leakage. During the drilling and fracking processes, methane, a potent greenhouse gas, can escape into the atmosphere. This contributes to climate change and negates some of the benefits of using natural gas, which has lower carbon emissions than coal or oil.
