Methane Threat: The Alarming Migration of Natural Gas Under Permafrost

Scientists have discovered that methane trapped under Svalbard’s permafrost can escape, risking a warming cycle. Frequent methane accumulations found in wellbore studies highlight the potential for increased global warming as the permafrost thaws. Credit: SciTechDaily.comAccording to scientists, large amounts of methane may be stored beneath the permafrost and could leak if it thaws.Methane is...
