Methane. Not everyone can light their farts on fire.

“Today’s livestock farms are high-tech facilities where ammonia is already removed from the air. As such, removing methane through existing air purification systems is an obvious solution,”

sounds like it will be something they can just add to existing systems at big livestock operations, and the removal rate is pretty high

I feel like this will cause a huge “rebound effect” (not sur if it’s the correct translation)

You could elaborate your point instead of using a word you’re unsure about.

Sure, reducing the methane emissions of a few farms might lead to an increased consumption of meat. Which would annihilate the positive effect brought by such innovation.

Really exciting development for the climate change mitigation toolkit. Let’s hope it’s not too challenging or costly to scale up and deploy.

I still feel that these will be used in place of structural changes and we’ll just end up polluting more.

Does that really matter if there are proper systems to deal with the pollution?

Yeah because it’s not fixing the problem, really it’s just passing it off to a future generation

Combatting symptoms is nice and all, but ideally you’d want to remove the reason these symptoms exist in the first place.

Can it be monetised more than destroying the environment though?
