Methane Capture


Book Description

Research on climate change has identified a wide array of sources that emit greenhouse gases (GHGs). Among the 6 gases that have been the primary focus of concern, methane is the second-most abundant, accounting for approximately 8% of total U.S. GHG emissions in 2008. Methane is emitted from a number of sources. The most significant are agriculture (both animal digestive systems and manure management); landfills; oil and gas production, refining, and distribution; and coal mining. This report discusses alternatives for addressing methane capture, sources of methane, opportunities and challenges for methane capture, and current federal programs that support methane recovery. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand report.
