TL;DR

Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have developed a method called the Methane Eradication Photochemical System (MEPS) that can remove methane from air. The method involves using chlorine and UV light to accelerate the degradation process of methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas. The researchers have successfully eliminated 58% of methane from air using their reaction chamber and have improved the results to 88%. This technology could be implemented in livestock barns, biogas production plants, and wastewater treatment plants to reduce methane emissions and combat climate change.
