Methane Emissions Tool

According to a recent study published on Phys.org Earth Sciences, methane is the second-largest greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, accounting for nearly 45% of current net warming. An international research team led by City University of Hong Kong has developed the first-ever globally applicable estimation tool to measure methane emissions from sewers, a previously overlooked source. This breakthrough offers a new perspective on mitigating climate change and highlights the importance of addressing hidden sources of greenhouse gas emissions. As the mining industry continues to play a critical role in the transition to a low-carbon economy, understanding and mitigating methane emissions will be crucial for companies involved in mineral exploration and extraction.
