Methane has a direct influence on climate change as well as an indirect effect on human health, plant yield, and productivity due to its role as an important precursor to ground-level ozone formation. CH4 monitoring is an efficient way to detect the buildup of CH4 levels and take necessary actions. This article covers information on methane gas, its sources in the ambient air, permissible levels, health and environmental impact, possible corrective measures, need for methane monitors as well as different methods of CH4 monitoring.
What is CH4?
Methane (CH4) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic gas composed of one carbon and four hydrogen atoms. It is a major component of natural gas. CH4 is highly flammable at very high concentrations of about 50,000 ppm. Methane is considered an asphyxiant at extremely high concentrations.
Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas. It is 28 times ( for 100 years timeframe) more potent than carbon dioxide at trapping the sun’s heat into the atmosphere. However, it has an atmospheric lifetime of around 12 years, much shorter than carbon dioxide.

Methane is the most abundant hydrocarbon in the atmosphere. It is produced by the decomposition of organic matter in absence of oxygen by microorganisms (called methanogens). It is naturally present under the ground or underwater (seabed).
Methane is a short-lived climate pollutant. It readily gets converted to carbon dioxide (another greenhouse gas, although less potent) releasing other harmful air pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and ozone
Formation of Methane
According to the World Meteorological Organization Global Atmosphere Watch Programme, the current average global background level of methane is 1824 ppb. Approximately, natural resources emit 40% of methane and human activities including intensive livestock farming cause emission of the other 60%.

Power Generation in Future by Using Landfill GasesIJARIIT
this paper describes an approach to power generation in future by using landfill gases. The present day methods of power generation are not much efficient & it may not be sufficient or suitable to keep pace with ever increasing demand. The recent severe energy crisis has forced the world to rethink & develop the landfill gas type power generation which remained unthinkable for several years after its discovery. Generation of electricity by using landfill gases is unique and highly efficient with nearly zero pollution. Landfill gas utilization is a process of gathering, processing, and treating the methane gas emitted from decomposing garbage to produce electricity. In advanced countries this technique is already in use but in developing countries it’s still under construction. The efficiency is also better than other non-conventional energy sources. These projects are popular because they control energy costs and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These projects collect the methane gas and treat it, so it can be used for electricity or upgraded to pipeline-grade gas. These projects power homes, buildings, and vehicles. Keywords-landfill gas process, LFG collection system, flaring, LFG gas treatment, gas turbine, and micro turbine.

Two of three major components in biomass - cellulose and hemicellulose - are polymerized sugars that can readily be chemically fermented to create renewable biofuels (this is now occurring commercially); the third, Lignin, is much more resistant to chemical degradation into smaller aromatic molecules. Until recently, Lignin was more-or-less ignored by industry and academic biotech researchers, being regarded more as just a waste product to be burned. Importantly, Lignin is only known major natural source of renewable aromatics. Out in Nature, Lignins are mainly broken-down by various fungi and bacteria. Biotechnologists are now beginning to focus on improving various chemical and enzymatic processes that reduce Lignin to smaller molecules, e.g. aromatics. In 2014, Larsen became aware of improvements in Lignin digestion methods. Advances in chemical processing of Lignin to yield basic aromatic molecules opens-up future possibility of creating revolutionary CO2-free LENR fuels from renewable biomass aromatics that would have 5,000x greater energy density than that of gasoline.
Energy-dense, CO2-free LENR fuels derived from aromatic polymers in biomass could potentially become an effectively inexhaustible new source of green energy.

Episode 3 : Production of Synthesis Gas by Steam Methane Reforming
History of Synthesis Gas
In 1780, Felice Fontana discovered that combustible gas develops if water vapor is passed over carbon at temperatures over 500 °C. This CO and H2 containing gas was called water gas and mainly used for lighting purposes in the19th century.
As of the beginning of the 20th century, H2/CO-mixtures were used for syntheses of hydrocarbons and then, as a consequence, also called synthesis gas.
Haber and Bosch discovered the synthesis of ammonia from H2 and N2 in 1910 and the first industrial ammonia synthesis plant was commissioned in 1913.
The production of liquid hydrocarbons and oxygenates from syngas conversion over iron catalysts was discovered in 1923 by Fischer and Tropsch.
Much of the syngas conversion processes were being developed in Germany during the first and second world wars at a time when natural resources were becoming scare and alternative routes for hydrogen production, ammonia synthesis, and transportation fuels were a necessity.
In 1943/44, this was applied for large-scale production of artificial fuels from synthesis gas in Germany.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Mq 4 methane sensor circuit built with an arduino
1. MQ-4 Methane Sensor Circuit Built with an Arduino | ISweek - Industry sourcing
In this project, we will go over how to build a methane sensor circuit with an arduino.
The methane sensor we will use is the MQ-4 sensor. This is a sensor that is sensitive to
effects of methane.
Methane (CH4) is a colorless, odorless gas with a wide distribution in nature. Methane is
known chiefly as being the principal component of natural gas, which is a mixture
containing about 75% methane (CH4), 15% ethane (C2H6), and 5% other hydrocarbons,
suh as propane (C3H8) and butane (CH4H10).
The principal use of methane is as a fuel. The combustion of methane is highly
exothermic, meaning reactions create the release of a great deal of energy. The energy
released by the combustion of methane, in the form of natural gas, is used directly to
heat homes and commercial buildings. It is also used in the generation of electric power.
During the past decade, natural gas accounted for about 1/5 of the total energy
consumption worldwide and about 1/3 in the United States.
Much debate has been stirred on whether natural gas is more green, meaning better for
the environment, than coal. This is because methane, when burned, emits less carbon
dioxide than coal. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is a dangerous greenhouse gas. However, when
unburned, when it is vented or leaked directly into the atmosphere, methane is far more
potent than carbon dioxide. In terms of its contribution to global warming, it is 23 times
more powerful than carbon dioxide.
Thus, methane is a powerful gas that can do a lot of good and potentially a lot of bad at
the same time.
Therefore, it's a gas that's important to monitor.
And to do so, we need a methane sensor. So this is the device we will build in this
project. OUr device will be able to detect the gas methane and tell us its concentration in
the air.
Components Needed
• MQ-4 Methane Sensor
• Arduino
• LED
