Meat emits around a third of global emissions of methane, and action to cut this greenhouse gas has been identified by the UN and world leaders as the quickest route to slowing global heating. The science is also uncertain around soil’s ability to store carbon, which can be easily undone through erosion, or changes in land use or the weather.

One of the primary reasons Germany cannot use all of the renewable energy it produces is because the nation’s fleet of coal and nuclear plants is still needed to ensure power system resilience when the wind slows or clouds cover the sun. Power-to-gas involves using excess renewable power to manufacture carbon-neutral synthetic methane.

Natural gas is a fossil fuel made up mostly of methane , an extremely potent greenhouse gas that is much more efficient at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. Then there are factors like the strength of the power grid and the resilience of its infrastructure, which experts say could complicate electrification. “Of

Animal agriculture is the largest emitter of methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide when measured over a 20 year period. Scientists say that unless swift action is taken, methane from agriculture alone will take us beyond a 1.5C

Kyoto Protocol agreed to use as a benchmark for their efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and 2050, the year many countries set as their target for carbon net zero. The halfway mark has now passed between 1990, the year that countries who signed the U.N. … while a lot has changed, not much has changed. Think big but start small.

California's new decarbonisation plan, Austria's windfall tax, and global methane reduction efforts. No economy in the world, much less the soon-to-be fourth largest, has put forth such a comprehensive roadmap to reach carbon neutrality. California Air Resources Board publishes sweeping net zero strategy.
