Volcano's eruption reduces emissions
A recent study has found that the eruption of the "Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai" volcano in 2022 released large amounts of methane and ash into the stratosphere, leading to the formation of a formaldehyde cloud that helps break down methane and reduce its emissions. The eruption is estimated to have emitted about 330,000 tons of methane, with ongoing reactions lasting over a week, which could represent an unexpected method to combat greenhouse warming caused by methane gas. This discovery opens the possibility of developing new ways to mitigate the effects of climate change, though further studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness.
