Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas that is emitted during various natural and human activities. It is produced through the decomposition of organic matter in anaerobic conditions, such as in wetlands and rice paddies, as well as through the production and transport of fossil fuels, livestock digestion, and waste management processes. Methane is a significant contributor to global warming, and its reduction is important for mitigating climate change.
