In Wired: It Might Be Time to Take Methane Removal Seriously
Jackson and other scientists suggest it’s time to think about removing methane from the atmosphere, in addition to cutting back on new emissions…. [They] have argued that the heating effects of methane are chronically undervalued, because current climate policies emphasize long-term temperature goals that extend far beyond the lifetime of a methane molecule. The value […]

Comments of Methane Action On The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Proposed Rules for Reducing emissions of methane and other air pollutants From the oil and natural gas sector. By John M. Fitzgerald, J.D. On behalf of Methane Action January 31, 2021 In Re: 40 CFR Parts 60 [EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0317; FRL-8510-02-OAR] RIN 2060-AV16 Standards of Performance for […]
In ScienceDirect: Perspectives on removal of atmospheric methane
This article reviews proposed methods for atmospheric methane removal at a climatically significant scale. These methods include enhancement of natural hydroxyl and chlorine sinks, photocatalysis in solar updraft towers, zeolite catalyst in direct air capture devices, and methanotrophic bacteria. Though these are still at an early stage of development, a comparison is provided with some […]

Video: The Methane Removal Imperative
In these two videos, recorded at the Methane Pavilion during COP 26, Methane Action science advisors and policy experts discuss in detail why methane removal is needed to keep warming below 1.5 degrees C, and how research and governance are evolving to enable it. The Methane Removal Imperative, November 5, 2021 Restoring Atmospheric Methane to […]
In FastCompany: Everyone’s focused on carbon removal, but don’t forget about methane
“If new methods for methane removal can be proven and scaled up, “it would be extremely powerful,” says Lena Höglund-Isaksson, a senior research scholar at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis. If the concentration of methane in the atmosphere could be cut in half, restoring pre-industrial levels, it could help cool the planet by around […]

In Andrew Revkin’s Sustain What: After COP26 Cheers and Jeers, Some Hopeful Climate and Energy Undercurrents
At Glasgow, attention was centered not just on technologies spotting methane, but also new ways to remove this gas from the atmosphere by accelerating natural processes that break down this potent planet heater. Read this Washington Post op-ed article by Rob Jackson, a longtime methane researcher at Stanford University, and Daphe Wysham, who heads a […]
