The 2017 production of coalbed methane in the United States was 0.98 trillion cubic feet (TCF), 3.6 percent of all US dry gas production that year. The 2017 production was down from the peak of 1.97 TCF in 2008. [ 1 ]
United States Greenhouse emission of gas from 1990 - 2016 US emissions of CO 2 and methane, 2018 Since 1850, the United States has cumulatively contributed the greatest amount of greenhouse gases of any nation or region. [16] Since 1850, the United States has cumulatively contributed the greatest amount of CO 2 of any nation. [17

Methane's GWP 20 of 85 means that a ton of CH 4 emitted into the atmosphere creates approximately 85 times the atmospheric warming as a ton of CO 2 over a period of 20 years. [23] On a 100-year timescale, methane's GWP 100 is in the range of 28–34. Methane emissions are important as reducing them can buy time to tackle carbon emissions. [24] [25]
