The public debate on climate protection is increasingly focusing on methane emissions from the production and transmission of natural gas. Yet it is frequently unclear how much methane is actually released into the atmosphere and how this impacts the climate. This may lead to the wrong conclusions.

The true impact of methane on global warming can only be assessed on the basis of robust scientific data. Hence, this booklet offers some facts and figures that have been compiled from recent studies and publications.
