More than half of the 50 per cent jump in methane’s growth rate between 2019 and 2020 was the result of reduced emissions from road transport, railways and planes during lockdowns, the study found. Until now, the causes of the 2020 surge in methane – second only to carbon dioxide as a driver of climate change – had been unclear.
