The release of methane to the atmosphere is a major focus of efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, accounting for about 20% of anthropogenic global warming since 1750.1Â Since 2007, globally averaged atmospheric methane has been increasing at an accelerating rate.2Â In addition to its impact on climate, methane contributes to the formation of
