Global Water Reservoirs Release Higher Greenhouse Gases than Previously Believed – AZoCleantech

Written by AZoCleantechJun 2 2021
According to a new study, per-area greenhouse gas emissions from the global water reservoirs are about 29% higher than proposed by earlier studies, but practical measures could be adopted to mitigate that effect. The study has been published in the Global Biogeochemical Cycles journal.
Overall, the researchers found the world’s water reservoirs are annually producing methane, carbon dioxide, and other greenhouse gases in an amount roughly equivalent to 1.07 gigatons…
