CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABILE
DEVELOPMENT
Developmental
• Satisfy the basic human needs and reasonable standard of welfare for all living
being, now and in the future
• Achieve more equitable standards of living both withing and among global
populations
Sustainability
• Care regarding potential disruption of biodiversity and regenerative capacity of
local and global ecology
• No undermining of possibility of future generations to attain similar or
improved standards of living, through running down natural resources stocks
and pollution loads
Impacts on the environment caused by methane gas pollution
• Methane that is released into the atmosphere before it is burned is
harmful to the environment.
Pollution of methane gas into the atmosphere is a source of climate
change
• The greenhouse gases described absorb these radiations, which are
subsequently transported to the planet's surface.
• Methane contributes to climate change because it is able to trap heat
in the atmosphere.
The effects of methane gas pollution on individuals and society
• Inhaling air with high quantities of methane can reduce the quantity of
oxygen that can be taken in.
• Mood changes, slurred speech, eye issues, memory loss, nausea,
vomiting, face flushing, and headaches can all be caused by excessive
amounts of methane.
• Frostbite can occur if liquefied methane discharged under pressure
comes into contact with the skin or eyes.
• Mood changes, slurred speech, vision issues, memory loss, nausea,
vomiting, facial flushing, and headaches might occur as a result of
this. There may be breathing and heart rate fluctuations, difficulty
with balance, numbness, and even coma in severe situations.
IMPROVEMENT OF QUALITY OF LIFE
While soil and chemical interactions in the environment naturally remove
methane from the atmosphere, all human activities that contribute methane
to the atmosphere must be handled in a manner that minimizes methane
emissions.
• Mitigation strategies
By recycling and composting, trapping methane gas, and burning it, known
as flaring, we can reduce the amount of garbage in landfills.
• Use Renewable energy
Methane emissions from gas-fired power plants in the United States can
be up to 120 times higher than what businesses report to regulators. As a
replacement for the current gas power plant and coal-fired power station,
alternative energy sources like solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro energy
can be used. No greenhouse gas emissions are produced when these
technologies of producing energy are operational.
Protection Of Society
 People
• Improve the management of manure and the quality of
animal feed.
• Adopt guidelines on healthy dietary choices for poultry
• Integrate herd and health management, nutrition, and
feeding management strategies to improve animal
health and husbandry.
 Environment
• Reduce gas transmission and distribution pipeline
leakage over long distances.
• Perform pre-mining degasification, recovery, and
oxidation of methane from coal mine ventilation air.
 Resources
• Organic waste should be diverted.
• Gas from landfills can be collected,
captured, and used.
• Improve the primary treatment of
waste water
• During the production of oil and
natural gas, recover and use gas and
fugitive emissions.
Tools
Method of calculation and tools for assessing the sustainability of
methane gas emissions
It focuses on greenhouse gas balance but we also have addressed
evaluation of ecosystem resources to clarify how land used.
Uses of renewable energy can influence ecosystem capacity to
support various ecosystem services.
Assessed the efficiency and utility of various sustainability
indicators.
Proposed and implemented by voluntary certification system.
Tool for measure methane(ch4) gas emissions
Inventory and sampling protocol is a must in order to preserved the
quality of environment
The right management technique is important to reduce hazardous
fuels, protect forest health and ensure ecosystem resilience.
Resource specialist need to use these same protocol to ensure that soil
resource objective for cover and nutrient cycling are met
Indicator
As the increase of earth methane footprint so does the climate change
as indicate in this data.
Air temperature over land are increasing
Glaciers are melting
Sea level are rising

Recommendation for improvement
Improvement for “Effect of methane gas emission on environment and
society” is about the methane emissions are a potent tool to combat
climate change, and using it may help local economies by providing a
clean energy source that creates cash, encourages investment, improves
safety, and leads to better air. Improved data collection and monitoring
will help us better understand methane sources and trends, as well as
better manage opportunities to minimize methane emissions. The
following are key steps in the data quality improvement strategy:
• New measuring technologies, such as low-cost emissions monitoring
devices, are being developed.
• To address areas with greater uncertainty in bottom-up inventories,
further data collection, direct emission measurements, research, and
analysis are being employed.
• Using direct measurements of air concentrations to improve top-down
modelling and monitoring.
conclusion
There is no proof that methane and biologic systems interact in any
manner, even though exposure to hydrocarbon mixtures can have certain
deleterious consequences on individuals. Methane, on the other hand, is a
greenhouse gas with 28–36 times the global warming capability of CO2
over 100 years, making it the second most important anthropogenic
greenhouse gas.
In the conclusion, biogas has the potential to drastically reduce greenhouse
gas emissions. Unwelcomed methane emissions must be handled (N2O).
Although biomass storage and digestate management are critical
processes, the emission budgets of the two components are very weakly
tied to direct release from biomethane combustion. To properly analyze
the long-term impact of digestate dispersion on soil quality, more study is
required. In the medium-to-short term, digestestate looks to be preferable
than untreated biomass. While switching to biomethane can improve air
quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in general, methane losses in
the off-gas could jeopardize the process' long-term sustainability.
