In the presence of the sun’s rays, nitrogen molecules set of a chain of reactions that produce ozone and destroy free-floating atmospheric methane. Some of these reactions, like the methane destruction, help cool the Earth. Clouds form and then fade, and molecules like ozone get destroyed by chemical processes within months. (In

But given that sulfur also cools the planet, failing to rein in, at the very least, short-lived greenhouse gases like methane while reducing sulfur pollution simply ratchets up the rate at which the world warms. Luckily, when combined, the greenhouse gases methane and ground-level ozone warm the planet as much as aerosols cool it.

The study found that hydrogen leaks, though impactful, are about three times less damaging to the climate than methane leaks (the primary component of natural gas) on a per-mass basis. However, the research reinforces the need for robust measures to minimize leaks of both hydrogen and natural gas to combat climate change effectively.

Several light hydrocarbons, such as methane, ethane and propane, are VOCs. Especially methane is a potent greenhouse gas, contributing to climate change. Why VOC emissions should be reduced. VOCs are a large group of organic compounds. Due to high vapor pressure, VOCs can easily evaporate. An overlooked problem.
