Prevention of BIOGENIC METHANE From Water, A Leveraged and Fundamental Form of Climate Action

Methane is the climate change leverage point. And methane that is generated biologically, instead of over eons like oil and gas methane, has been growing exponentially. And no, this is not about “cow burps". It is about nutrient impaired water - more than half of all freshwater around the world.

​Just a few years ago, no one on the Floating Island International (FII) research and development team was focused on methane.  Instead, we were all oriented around prevention and mitigation of harmful algae blooms and associated freshwater nutrient impairment issues.  The team was unaware of the volume of methane that nutrient impaired water emits.  Since then, science rolls on, and strong science has resulted in a growing awareness.  What we have learned is critical to human effort to prevent a disastrous level of climate change.
