  • Methane’s role as a major driver of global warming, why cutting it can rapidly slow climate change, and the challenges of detecting this invisible, odorless gas
  • Technologies used to monitor and measure methane emissions, along with expert insights on reducing methane for a lower‑carbon future

Detecting the invisible

Methane is the second-largest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide (CO2). According to the International Energy Agency, it is responsible for around 30 percent of the rise in global temperatures since the Industrial Revolution.

 

While methane absorbs more energy than CO2 in the atmosphere, it has a much shorter atmospheric lifespan – around 12 years. The good news is that tackling methane emissions can make a significant difference to addressing climate change.

 

But how to reduce emissions from this colorless, odorless gas that’s often hard to detect? And how can technology help?
