  • Invisible but not unseen." The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)'s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) and various international climate and environmental organizations describe colorless and odorless methane (CH4) gas in this way.

The article from MSN discusses South Korea's challenges in controlling methane emissions amidst increasingly stringent global regulations. Despite the global push to reduce methane, a potent greenhouse gas, South Korea has not made significant progress in this area. The country's efforts are lagging due to several factors including the complexity of methane sources, which range from agriculture to waste management and energy production. South Korea's heavy reliance on fossil fuels, particularly natural gas, complicates its methane reduction strategies. Additionally, the article highlights the lack of comprehensive national policies and the need for technological advancements to detect and mitigate leaks. This situation places South Korea at risk of falling behind in international climate commitments, especially as countries like the EU and the US implement tougher regulations and incentives to curb methane emissions.
