Breakthrough Methane Degradation Technology Promises Cleaner Air and Livestock Facilities

Scientists at the University of Copenhagen have developed a new technology called Methane Eradication Photochemical System (MEPS) that can break down methane 100 million times faster than natural processes. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, takes up to 12 years to decompose naturally and is 85 times worse for the climate than carbon dioxide over a 25-year period. The researchers have formed a company to make this technology available to society, aiming to reduce methane levels and mitigate the impact of climate change.
