This “Methane 101” presentation provides a comprehensive overview of the sources of methane emissions in the United States, why methane matters and how to mitigate its emissions based on the source. These slides cover the coal mining, oil and natural gas systems, agriculture and waste sectors, pulling emissions data from EPA’s Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gases and Sinks and other data from the voluntary EPA programs that track methane recovery and use projects.
