Solutions
We have realistic, fast, and effective solutions to significantly reduce methane.
Communities across South America stand to benefit from these solutions. Reducing methane emissions reduces air pollution that contributes to lung and heart disease. Investing in energy efficiency, as well as renewable electricity to replace natural gas, will create thousands of jobs. Livestock manure can be used to create biogas, a renewable fuel. Landfill gas capture systems can feed energy into the grid and turn a profit. Investments in methane reductions are investments in community well-being and quality of life.
All levels of government—national, regional, and local—can create laws, policies, and programs to put these solutions in place. Everyone, from individuals composting food waste to large oil and gas companies plugging up methane leaks, can participate.
