GLOBAL METHANE EMISSION
METHANE(CH4) IS A MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR OF GREENHOUSE GAS AFTER CARBON-DIOXIDE . 1 TON OF CH4 HAS 34 TIMES MORE POTENTIAL OF WARMING THAN 1 TON OF CARBON-DIOXIDE FOR 100 YEARS. LIFE TIME OF METHANE IS OF 9 YEARS.
•Methane also contributes to
tropospheric production of ozone, a pollutant that harms human health, foof production and ecosystems.
•
•Methane also leads to production of
water vapor in the stratosphere by chemical reactions, enhancing global
warming.
