Methane - Wikipedia
Methane is an organic hydrocarbon, and among the simplest of organic compounds. Naturally occurring methane is found both below ground and under the seafloor and is formed by both geological and biological processes. The largest reservoir of methane is under the seafloor in the form of methane clathrates.

Methane | Definition, Properties, Uses, & Facts | Britannica
Methane, colorless, odorless gas that occurs abundantly in nature and as a product of certain human activities. Methane is the simplest member of the paraffin series of hydrocarbons and is among the most potent of the greenhouse gases.

Methane - Earth Indicator - NASA Science
Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas and is the second-largest contributor to Earth's warming after carbon dioxide (CO2). A molecule of methane traps more heat than a molecule of CO2, but methane has a relatively short lifespan of 7 to 12 years in the atmosphere.

Importance of Methane - US EPA
Methane (CH 4) is a hydrocarbon that is a primary component of natural gas. Methane is also a greenhouse gas (GHG), so its presence in the atmosphere affects the earth’s temperature and climate system. Methane is emitted from a variety of anthropogenic (human-influenced) and natural sources.

FACT SHEET: METHANE: ANSWERS TO FAQS - US EPA
Because methane is extremely flammable in the presence of oxygen and an ignition source (open flame, pilot light), the main public health threat posed from methane is the physical explosion hazard posed by methane levels between 5% and 15% by volume* in the air.

Methane facts and information | National Geographic
Cows and bogs release methane into the atmosphere, but it's by far mostly human activity that's driving up levels of this destructive greenhouse gas.

What is methane and why is it a safety concern? - USGS.gov
High concentrations of methane in water wells can accumulate in confined spaces and act as an asphyxiant or become flammable. These dangers can be mitigated through enhanced venting of the well casing or venting confined spaces (like basements) and removing any ignition sources.

Methane: From Super Pollutant to Climate Solution
Methane offers a critical opportunity for climate action: reducing methane emissions is one of the fastest and cheapest solutions to immediately slow the rate of global warming.

What Are Methane Emissions and Why Do They Matter?
Methane emissions are releases of methane gas into the atmosphere from both human activities and natural processes. Methane is the second most significant greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide, and it traps far more heat per molecule: over a 20-year window, one ton of methane warms the planet 81 to 83 times more than one ton of carbon dioxide.

Greenhouse gas - Methane, Climate Change, Emissions | Britannica
Greenhouse gas - Methane, Climate Change, Emissions: Methane (CH4) is the second most important greenhouse gas. CH4 is more potent than CO2 because the radiative forcing produced per molecule is greater.
