Methane MitigationBecause methane is 23 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas, methane capture and use projects can reap significant monetary rewards with today’s high energy prices and with returns from carbon trading mechanisms. Two significant sources of anthropogenic methane release to the atmosphere are the coal mining industry and the oil and gas industry. Opportunities exist for substantial emission reductions in these two sectors such that companies can benefit economically and environmentally through the capture and use of this clean burning energy source.
