Since methane (CH4) is a key greenhouse gas (GHG) with high global warming potential (GWP), there is considerable interest in controlling emissions of CH4 from the oil and gas industry and the waste industry. Although a number of technologies are available, the control of CH4 emissions continues to present complicated challenges to all levels of Canadian government as well as businesses. At the moment, the selection and field implementation of such technologies in an environmentally-friendly and cost effective manner is challenging and requires further scrutiny. Our research has shown that novel biological methods could be a cost-effective and more environmentally friendly alternative to conventional physical methods, which either are too expensive or create other environmental problems. A good example of one is the use of flaring to control gaseous emissions in the oil and gas industry; this practice is known to produce toxic by-products of serious human health concern.

由于甲烷（CH 4）是具有高全球变暖潜势（GWP）的关键温室气体（GHG），因此对控制来自石油和天然气工业以及废物工业的CH 4的排放存在相当大的兴趣。虽然有一些技术可以利用，但控制甲烷排放仍然是加拿大各级政府和企业面临的复杂挑战。目前，以环境友好和具有成本效益的方式选择和现场实施此类技术具有挑战性，需要进一步审查。我们的研究表明，新的生物方法可能是传统物理方法的一种具有成本效益和更环保的替代方法，传统物理方法要么过于昂贵，要么会产生其他环境问题。一个很好的例子是在石油和天然气工业中使用燃烧来控制气体排放;众所周知，这种做法会产生对人类健康有严重影响的有毒副产品。
