The authors point out that less coal production doesn’t translate to less methane. The study is the first to attempt to account for methane escaping from abandoned mines. But Nazar notes that there is uncertainty about future coal production. If coal production decreases, then emissions from working mines would decrease.

These insights into how the beetle and its distinct microbiome have co-evolved provide a roadmap for the production of affordable, nature-derived fuels and bioproducts. This wood passes through the beetle’s complex digestive tract and is finally excreted as its waste product, politely termed frass. The beetle can’t do this on its own.

This significant reduction would largely be accomplished by capturing natural gas that currently escapes to the air and making that gas available for sale through technologies and processes already in use by several companies and required in some states. Methane, the primary constituent of natural gas, is a potent greenhouse gas.
