Reducing Methane Emissions

Reducing Methane Emissions

Author: Natural Resources Canada June 29, 2021 Duration: 24:19
We use methane every day to heat our homes, grow our food, create fertilizers and produce things like hydrogen that we use in clean fuel cells. But methane is a really potent greenhouse gas and a significant contributor to global warming. On this episode, we discuss what is methane, how we use it, and how we can reduce the amount we release in the atmosphere.
