with πŸŽ™οΈ Semra Bakkaloglu - Research Associate at the Imperial College of LondonΒ 

πŸ’§ 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:


πŸ“ˆ How methane concentration in the atmosphere is at an all-time high and has more than doubled since preindustrial timesΒ 

πŸ§‘β€πŸ”¬ How the rising trend is ongoing, as the latest IPCC reports confirmΒ 

πŸ’₯ How methane has a disproportionate impact on climate change and just puts the problem on steroidsΒ 

βš’οΈ How biomethane production lines proportionally emit more than the traditional natural gas supply chainΒ 

πŸ€’ How the development of the biomethane supply chain may have adverse effects if we don't sort out the super emittersΒ 

πŸ“ˆ How one specific step of the biomethane production process emits much more than the others and which one it isΒ 

πŸ“‰ 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 productionΒ 

😊 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!
