Bioremediation

Bioremediation

Bioremediation is the use of prokaryotes, fungi, or plants to remove pollutants from the environment. This process has been used to remove harmful toxins in groundwater as a byproduct of agricultural run-off and also to clean up oil spills.

The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming, but current trajectories indicate failure to meet its objectives.
Methane is the second-most significant anthropogenic greenhouse gas, contributing substantially to climate change.
The relatively short atmospheric lifetime of methane allows for rapid impact if emissions are reduced.
