Abstract: Methane is an extremely useful molecule. It is a major source of the worlds energy, with over 4 billion cubic meters (Bcm) providing 24% of the worlds power generation needs in 2020 (1). It is a natural byproduct of biodegradation processes, whether through fossils, landfills, food waste, farm and crop waste, or wastewater. The relationship between methane generating soil bacteria and plant biology is only recently begun to be elucidated (2). Methane however, is also a powerful greenhouse gas (GHG). Studies now indicate that in its first 20 years of life as an emitted gas, it has 84 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide (CO2) (3). According to the IEA, the world emits more than 360 million metric tonnes (MMT) of methane each year through anthropogenic activities, i.e., food and energy production, the activities of providing energy and food for a growing world (4).
