With more than 80 times the warming of CO2 in the near term, one of the most potent greenhouse gases is methane–and it’s clear that we’re in the midst of a methane moment. Companies should also support farmers by investing in innovative solutions, particularly to tackle enteric methane. There’s no time to lose.
