An international study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research : Atmospheres has provided new insights into global fossil methane emissions.

The study used advanced isotopic analysis, including radiocarbon and stable isotopes of carbon and hydrogen, to accurately distinguish between different methane emission sources.

This research is the first research to integrate multiple isotopic datasets to precisely quantify global methane emissions from fossil fuels, biogenic, geologic, and biomass burning sources.
