text: In a sustainable system, methane released into the atmosphere is taken up by natural methane sinks such as the soil and the methane oxidation process in troposphere.
text: These treatment processes can produce methane emissions if organic constituents in the wastewater are treated anaerobically (i.e., without oxygen) and if the methane produced is released to the atmosphere.
text: Results suggest more methane may be released into atmosphere than thought
text: Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that is released in the atmosphere by various means, including cow flatulence.
text: Methane is about 20 times more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide if released into the atmosphere.
text: As well as this, farmers can capture the methane and use this as biogas on the farm to heat e.g. water for cleaning, and to provide electricity, thus reducing the amount of methane released into the atmosphere, and reducing normal electricity consumption.
text: The earliest methane was released into the atmosphere by volcanic activity.
text: Methane is also an important greenhouse gas: it has about 23 times the global-warming potential of carbon dioxide when it is released into the atmosphere.
text: Methane is produced by a type of archaea, called methanogens, as described above within the rumen, and this methane is released to the atmosphere.
text: Ruminant livestock – cattle, sheep, buffalo, goats, deer and camels – have a fore-stomach (or rumen) containing microbes called methanogens, which are capable of digesting coarse plant material and which produce methane as a by-product of digestion (enteric fermentation): this methane is released to the atmosphere by the animal belching.
text: The breakdown of methane hydrates due to warming climate is unlikely to lead to massive amounts of methane being released to the atmosphere, according to a recent interpretive review of scientific literature performed by the U.S. Geological Survey and the University of Rochester.
