Should any atmospheric methane removal approaches prove scalable, effective, and safe, they could help rapidly reduce warming once deployed at scale, helping to address some of the current 0.5°C—and rising—of methane-driven warming. All proposed atmospheric methane removal technologies are at a very early stage today; some ideas have been proposed and some are being researched in laboratories, but none are ready for deployment. Spark believes that accelerating research to develop and assess if any of these technologies have the potential to be effective, safe, and scalable is crucial for developing the global climate risk management portfolio.

Spark is working to grow the scientific field of atmospheric methane removal to identify new possible approaches, and make further scientific progress on those already proposed. This is done through directly funding research, organizing research workshops and convenings, direct researcher engagement, writing academic papers, and educating public agencies around the value and opportunities in atmospheric methane research.
As the climate response portfolio is developed, society will need to make decisions around how new technologies might be tested, and then possibly, later deployed. Spark is working with partners to explore the role that atmospheric methane removal might play in a climate response portfolio, and support groundwork for how these decisions might be made in the future.
