INTRODUCTION The atmospheric concentration of the strong greenhouse gas methane (CH4) is increasing, contributing significantly to global warming (Schaefer et al., 2016). Major sources of methane (both natural and anthropogenic) include wetlands, cattle, paddy fields and landfills (Dean et al., 2018; Houghton et al., 2019). In addition, dozens of teragrams of methane are annually released from geological sources in terrestrial and marine geothermal environments (Etiope, 2009).
