The above map has been prepared using data from an article in the Times of India highlighting a significant share of methane in greenhouse gas emissions in India. Methane constitutes about 14% of India’s greenhouse gas emissions. A significant amount of these emissions can be traced to point sources – related to activities like sewage management, solid waste management and oil and gas extraction activities. A worrying aspect is noticed in concentration of large emitters in western cities. The anthropogenic activties in these centres are primarily related to waste management and call for improved practices in waste management as well as better utilization of methane emissions. How can these urban emissions be effectively reduced or tapped as a fuel or for industrial processes? Share your thoughts and ideas with us.
