Methane is a potent greenhouse gas responsible for about a third of the planet's warming since industrialization.

Methane traps about 30 times more heat than carbon dioxide over a 100-year time frame.

Microorganisms growing in landfills, on agricultural land and in wetlands contribute to skyrocketing levels of atmospheric methane.
