Methane Emissions During 2019, about 60% (360 million tons) of methane released globally was from human activities, while natural sources contributed about 40% (230 million tons). [3] [4] Reducing methane emissions by capturing and utilizing the gas can produce simultaneous environmental and economic benefits. [1] [5] Since the Industrial Revolution, concentrations of methane in the atmosphere have more than doubled, and about 20 percent of the warming the planet has experienced can be attributed to the gas. [6] About one-third (33%) of anthropogenic emissions are from gas release during the extraction and delivery of fossil fuels; mostly due to gas venting and gas leaks from both active fossil fuel infrastructure and orphan wells. [7] Russia is the world's top methane emitter from oil and gas. [8] [9] Animal agriculture is a similarly large source (30%); primarily because of enteric fermentation by ruminant livestock such as cattle and sheep. According to the Global Methane Assessment published in 2021, methane emissions from livestock (including cattle) are the largest sources of agricultural emissions worldwide [10] A single cow can make up to 99 kg of methane gas per year. [11] Ruminant livestock can produce 250 to 500 L of methane per day. [12] en.wikipedia.org
