S2E3 - Methaan
De methaanuitstoot moet omlaag, maar wat is methaan nou precies en waarom is het schadelijk? Ecoloog Annelies Veraart legt uit hoe het gas werkt en waar het vandaan komt. Koeien stoten methaan uit met hun scheten, maar watertjes zoals meren, beken en sloten spelen ook een grote rol bij het methaanprobleem. ‘De micro-organismen die in de bodems van deze watersystemen leven, produceren ontzettend veel methaan en dat stijgt op uit het water op en verspreidt zich in de lucht’, legt Veraart in de podcast uit.
