![]() What the Stanford research shows is that around 50,000 of these deaths could be prevented annually, and surface temperatures could be cut by 0.21 degrees Celsius by removing ‘three years-worth of human-caused emissions of the potent greenhouse gas’. Another major problem is that after its release methane is 81 times more potent at warming temperatures over 20 years than carbon dioxide is, and around 27 times more over a century. Every year one million premature deaths are caused by high concentrations of tropospheric ozone resulting from methane emissions. ![]() ![]() ![]() Billions of dollars of investment have gone into developing carbon capture technologies and researchers at Stanford want to see similar sums mobilised to pioneer methane removing technologies.
