Since 2007, methane emissions have surged and are now accounting for 1/3 of global warming that’s intensifying the current climate emergency; according to International Energy Agency. This surge has alarmed scientists, who view it as the most significant barrier to staying under the critical threshold of 1.5 degrees C in global temperature rise. This fact seems to be linked to increased global temperatures spurring further methane release from wetlands. A big portion of emissions comes from man-made sources where 40% of it comes from human agriculture, 37% from energy, 20% from waste, and 3% from other sources. By tackling waste as a source we can reduce methane emissions which is now more critical than ever.

The global effort to eliminate greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, is escalating due to the catastrophic impact of human-induced emissions, escalating the climate crisis into an irreversible state. Major governments, scientists, and industry leaders agree that urgent action is needed to prevent further global warming. The consensus is to limit the global average temperature rise to 1.5°C by halving CO2 emissions by 2030 and reaching net zero by 2050. https://bit.ly/3w9r9cH #DNO #gridcompliance #developers #powersystem #electricity #gridconnection #electricitybill #sustainability #netzero

60% of today's methane emissions come from human activities. And regulators are taking a tougher stance with companies over measuring and reducing industrial emissions. Detecting leaks from land, air and space can help industries understand their emissions, fix equipment leaks and improve processes, helping to limit global warming. There is still a path to net zero!

Both methane and CO2 emissions contribute to climate change, but did you know methane has an even greater negative impact? Here's why it matters: 🟢 Methane has a global warming potential of 27-30 over a 100-year period, compared to CO2 at 1 🟢 Due to its higher GWP, methane is more harmful in the short-term in accelerating global warming 🟢 CO2 persists in our atmosphere longer, contributing to long-term changes to our climate and environment By plugging orphaned wells, we can immediately reduce methane emissions, making a substantial difference for our planet. In 2023 alone, the Well Done Foundation eliminated over 850,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent from entering our atmosphere.

There are still ways to achieve net zero from human activities. Make sure you are part of that. #EnergyTransition #ABB #ABBEnergyTransition

Due to methane's high global warming potential and increasing trend, it is crucial that we develop and implement methane reduction roadmaps.
Reducing methane pollution is among the most efficient ways to slow global warming. However, recent reports indicate that methane emissions are rising at alarming rates. There are mechanisms in place to cut methane emissions. UNEP is providing support systems to help countries develop roadmaps, policies, and regulations and to provide countries and companies with credible data to drive emissions reductions. https://lnkd.in/emvgZu7s

🌍 𝐄𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐆𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 🌿 When we assess greenhouse gases, we look at them from three important angles: 𝐀𝐭𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 📈 We measure how much of the gas exists in the atmosphere. This is about understanding its concentration or abundance. For instance, carbon dioxide gets a lot of attention because it's the most prevalent greenhouse gas, making up roughly 75% of all greenhouse gases. 𝐀𝐭𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐜 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐧: ⏳ Each greenhouse gas sticks around for a different length of time. Some, like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides, have relatively short lifespans in the atmosphere—ranging from twelve to 200 years. However, others, like hydrofluorocarbons and perfluorocarbons, can linger for hundreds to even thousands of years. 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐛𝐚𝐥 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭: 🌡️ We also consider how much each gas contributes to global warming. This is measured by its Global Warming Potential (GWP)—how effective it is at trapping heat compared to carbon dioxide. For example, one pound of methane is 21 times more potent at trapping heat than one pound of carbon dioxide. By examining greenhouse gases through these lenses, we gain a deeper understanding of their role in climate change and how they affect our planet. 🌱 #GreenhouseGasInsights 🌿 #AtmosphericPerspective 🌍 #ClimateFacts 📊 #EcoAwareness 🌱 #GlobalWarmingAwareness 🌡️ #SustainableFuture 🔆 #ClimateScience 🧪 #EnvironmentalEducation 📚 #ClimateActionNow ⏰ #GHGImpact 🔍

Methane gas emissions are of great concern, since these make the global warming much worse and rapid. Methane gas is more than 80 times powerful greenhouse gas compared to CO2. The Methane emissions arise from oil and gas production and transmission, LNG production and operations, agricultural and livestock farming activities, nature's emissions and rotting land fills. Nobody ever saw anything like this before’: how methane emissions are pushing the Amazon towards environmental catastrophe. As the world heats up, methane released from thawing permafrost and warming tropical wetlands is intensifying climate breakdown. But curbing it is achievable. These emissions are causing significant global warming rapidly. For some more information please see the link to the article in the comment box. #Methaneemissions #greenhousegas #globalwarming

Data from Agency of #Statistic Center of Indonesia, population of cattle is 17 million and will be 26 million in 2035. And the fact is 90% of cattle dung is unmanage. Methane is the biggest element in the cattle dung. The projection #GHG #emission in 2035 (from 26 million cattle) is 21 million tCO2e. Installation biodigester can help the world to reduce the methane. PT. Biru Karbon Nusantara as a company that focus provide access of #renewableenergy through biogas installation to the society for #economiccircular, #energysecurity and #foodsecurity. 2 points that are concern by Indonesia Government at this time.
