S7E5 - The Underestimated Hidden Threat of Biomethane Production. Time to Act?


Listen Later

with 🎙️ Semra Bakkaloglu - Research Associate at the Imperial College of London 

💧 Semra recently showed in her research how the methane emissions along the biosolids supply chain were vastly underestimated and proposed straightforward actions to correct it swiftly.


What we covered:


📈 How methane concentration in the atmosphere is at an all-time high and has more than doubled since preindustrial times 

🧑‍🔬 How the rising trend is ongoing, as the latest IPCC reports confirm 

💥 How methane has a disproportionate impact on climate change and just puts the problem on steroids 

⚒️ How biomethane production lines proportionally emit more than the traditional natural gas supply chain 

🤒 How the development of the biomethane supply chain may have adverse effects if we don't sort out the super emitters 

📈 How one specific step of the biomethane production process emits much more than the others and which one it is 

📉 How the lowest hanging fruit to leverage Semra's research is to sort out the super-emitters and more than halve the emissions of biomethane production 

😊 Being part of the solution rather than the problem, better understanding the biomethane supply chain, production means, and treatment steps, applying Semra's research in the water industry, the possible next steps... and much more!

🔥 … and of course, we concluded with the 𝙧𝙖𝙥𝙞𝙙 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 🔥
