Methane removal seen as tool to slow warming
Presse/medie
Interview in article on methane removal technologies.
'Methane, long eclipsed by carbon dioxide (CO2) as a villain in climate change, is having its moment in the spotlight. The United Nations climate summit opened here this week with faltering global com-mitments to reducing CO2, but more than 100 nations have agreed to cut their meth-ane emissions by one-third by 2030. Officials hope cracking down on the potent greenhouse gas will help limit global warm-ing to a 1.5°C rise, the goal established by the 2015 Paris agreement.'
'Emitting just 10% of the amount of iron that naturally reaches the atmosphere in mineral dust could be enough to restore methane to its preindustrial level, says Matthew Johnson, a chemist at the Univer-sity of Copenhagen.'
