The current iron pipes carry methane-based natural gas. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas with global warming potential that is 21 times greater than that of CO2. We need to decarbonise the gas that we use.

However, a recent study from the California Air Resources Board—which oversees South Coast—found that zero-emission vehicles are the cheapest option to own and operate, and that replacing diesel trucks with natural gas trucks can actually be worse for the climate, because of the methane emissions associated with producing natural gas.

When they form new bodies of water, they contribute to the thawing of frozen permafrost, which is a natural reservoir for methane and carbon dioxide. These beavers carry dead trees and shrubs to create dams, resulting in new lakes that flood the permafrost soil and release methane.

It’s quite simple,” said Andreae, who served as a Green Party member of parliament from 2002-2019. Unlike natural gas, which is comprised mostly of methane, a powerful climate pollutant, hydrogen does not emit planet-warming carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned. But we’ll need molecules, and that is the deciding factor. “In

Research by Energy Networks Association shows that investment in replacing old iron mains gas mains pipes with new hydrogen and biomethane-ready pipes will have taken the equivalent of nearly 530,000 cars off the road since 2014, as a result of reduced methane natural gas emissions.

That changed in 2002, when Andre Geim, a University of Manchester physics professor, re-discovered graphene. Methods of creating graphene required, as Chemical & Engineering News cited, “expensive substrates on which to grow graphene and/or reagents such as methane, acetylene and organic solids that must be purified before use.”

Nevertheless, the government does provide its own "experimental statistics" on greenhouse gas emissions related to UK consumption of goods and services - comprising CO2 as well as methane and nitrous oxide - on an annual basis, and its latest estimates covering a 20-year period were released today.
