The accurate and effective monitoring of surface methane emissions levels is critical to the safe operation of landfill and waste management sites. However, methane monitoring equipment can sometimes be more of a hinderance than a help. Another way? It is able to detect emissions from 1-10,000ppm or from 0.1%

I’d argued that regenerative grazing could cut emissions from beef production , helping reduce the outsized contribution cattle make to food’s carbon footprint. We tend to blame cows’ methane-filled burps for these gases, but around a quarter of livestock emissions come from fertilizer used to grow animal feed. Sounds great, right?
