Greenhouse gases are causing negative climate change globally. One of the most important of these gases is methane, which has a global warming potential (GWP) of 28. Its greenhouse effect is 28 times stronger than carbon dioxide, and its atmospheric concentration is the result of both human activity and natural processes. Its concentration in the atmosphere increased steadily from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution until the 1990s. The consequences of its destructive impact on climate change and atmospheric processes have led to intensive study of methane emissions and strategies to reduce them. This article reviews the sources and sinks of methane and the key technologies that are crucial for reducing emissions in each sector.
