Getting the methane level under control seems to be the critical task for the next 100years.
Is anyone aware of methane remediation techniques? I can think of 2: Ozone - the reaction of methane with ozone is the main way it is broken down at present. By adding ozone to the stratosphere, we could dramatically speed up this reaction. All the methods discussed for H2S and SO2 should work fine for deploying ozone. Thermal oxidisation - by running the methane through a thermal plant (eg a car engine) this will burn it off. Does anyone have any figures for the % of existing methane that's burned off in power stations, forest fires, car engines, stoves and boilers worldwide?
