Description

Strategic Intelligence: Deep Dive into Methane Reduction Technology

Summary

Reducing methane emissions will be vital to halting the worst effects of climate change. Methane is a greenhouse gas (GHG) that warms the planet 86 times more than the same amount of CO2 over a 20-year period. It is the second-largest contributor to global warming, after CO2. The most cost-effective way to stay within 1.5°C of warming would be to cut methane emissions by more than 40%, according to the UN Environment Program (UNEP).

Key Highlights
  • The most prolific methane emitters are the agriculture, energy, and waste management sectors. The agriculture sector primarily emits methane through enteric emissions from ruminant livestock, like cows, but decomposition of manure and rice production also contribute. Energy production releases methane through venting and flaring (V&F) of excess gas, and waste management emits the GHG from landfill sites.
  • Uncontrolled methane emissions expose businesses to myriad other risks. Companies across the agricultural, consumer goods, energy, and waste management sectors could face elevated physical, regulatory, reputational, and legal risk if they fail to reduce their methane emissions. At the same time, new opportunities can be created through methane-conscious business, such as recouping revenue from natural gas leaks or even developing voluntary methane markets.
Scope
  • This report explains why methane matters to companies, identifies sources of methane emissions, and assesses potential methane-inhibiting technologies and processes.
Reasons to Buy
  • Thanks to methane emitted by human activity, the world is 0.5°C warmer than it would be without those anthropogenic methane emissions, according to the environmental think tank Green Alliance.
  • Cutting methane emissions as quickly as possible is the most powerful tool we have to slow climate change. As the race to halt climate change intensifies, companies may face legal requirements to reduce their methane emissions. Investing in methane reduction strategies now will be crucial to staying ahead of competitors and regulators alike. This report is an ideal introduction to this increasingly important topic.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
