Industy

Methane (CH4) is a powerful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change by trapping heat 20 times more effectively than carbon dioxide. It is produced by both natural processes such as wetlands and oceans, and human activities like burning fossil fuels, waste management and raising livestock, which is responsible for over half of methane emissions. It is also a by-product of some industrial processes. Let’s look at what the EU is doing to reduce methane emissions to reach the Fit for 55 climate package goals.
