but it inevitably brings forth a mish-mash of half-remembered, inappropriate or out-of-date comparisons between the impacts of carbon dioxide and methane. Thus despite the smaller concentrations and changes in methane compared to carbon dioxide, the impacts are comparable. W/m 2 for CH 4. Stocks and flows.

Power plants fueled by methane gas have a serious climate problem. The fuel, commonly known as natural gas, now powers the biggest portion of US electricity generation—more than 40 percent. Notably for a discussion of gas plants, that includes methane, which traps many times more heat than CO 2.

What’s most remarkable is that the decision calls for a 45% reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions–of not only its own but also those of its customers–within less than a decade. C with limited or no overshoot project the use of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) on the order of 100–1000 GtCO2 over the 21st century.

Biogas is the direct product of anaerobic digestion, primarily comprised of a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide, plus much smaller amounts of other gases. When biogas is processed to remove carbon dioxide and those other gases, it becomes biomethane, also sometimes referred to as “renewable natural gas.”
