Why methane matters
This podcast covers two climate blind spots—methane and short-term warming—that Spark is working on, discussing topics like: why we should consider different time-scale standards for measuring global warming impact, such as GWP100 and GWP20; how short-lived aerosols mask the full warming impact of greenhouse gasses; methane removal, including the process of oxidation and methane sink; different sources of methane, such as wetlands, livestock and fossil fuel production; ready-to-deploy solutions to fossil fuel methane emissions, such as flaring, detection, capture and storage; how flaring may be less effective than previously thought; and solutions under development for livestock methane, such as manure management, biogas digesters and feed additives like seaweed-derived bromoform.
