With concentrations of atmospheric methane increasing twice as fast as carbon dioxide since 1750, methane is the second most impactful greenhouse gas. [2] [3] Efforts taken to reduce the amount of methane in the atmosphere are required to reduce the effects of global climate change. Worldwide methane emissions from agriculture in 2019.
The decrease in pressure allows methane to desorb from the coal and flow as a gas up the well to the surface. Methane is then compressed and piped to market. The objective is to avoid putting methane into the water line but allow it to flow up the backside of the well (casing) to the compressor station.
Gas well deliquification, also referred to as "gas well dewatering", is the general term for technologies used to remove water or condensates build-up from producing gas wells. When natural gas flows to the surface in a producing gas well, the gas carries liquids to the surface if the velocity of the gas is high enough.
A German methane detector used for coal mining in the 1960s. Coalbed methane (CBM or coal-bed methane), [1] coalbed gas, or coal seam gas (CSG [1]) is a form of natural gas extracted from coal beds. [2] In recent decades it has become an important source of energy in United States, Canada, Australia, and other countries.

Sewer gas can contain methane and hydrogen sulfide, both highly flammable and potentially explosive substances. As such, ignition of the gas is possible with flame or sparks. [7] The methane concentration in open sewers is lower (7 to 15 ppmv) than the closed drains (up to 300 ppmv) in samples collected 2 cm (0.8 in) above the level of sewage. [8]
Reducing fugitive gas emissions could help slow climate change, since methane has a radiative force 25 times that of carbon dioxide when considering a 100 year time frame. [9] [16] Once emitted, methane is also oxidized by water vapour and increases carbon dioxide concentration, leading to further climate effects. [17]
However, methane-oxidizing bacteria encompass other organisms that are not regarded as sole methanotrophs. For this reason, methane-oxidizing bacteria have been separated into subgroups: methane-assimilating bacteria (MAB) groups, the methanotrophs, and autotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AAOB), which cooxidize methane.
