KTH researchers develop technology to filter methane in stables
In a new research project at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH, in Stockholm, researchers are investigating new techniques for attacking methane in stable environments.
– We are developing two technologies, one of which is based on converting methane to carbon dioxide. The second track that our partners are investigating is how to capture the methane and use it, says KTH researcher Shareq Mohd Nazir.
Context
- Ruminants, manure, and rice cultivation are the main agricultural methane sources.
- Unlike fossil CO₂, which must be reduced to net zero, methane only needs to be stabilized at a lower level, since it naturally breaks down after ~10 years.
- Reducing emissions shortens warming, while increases intensify it.
