Apart from the fact that methane as natural gas, it is widely used energy source and important raw material in chemical industry it still has other importance in several areas of human life. Amongst the contemporary global issues one of the most important one is global warming and the processes leading to this phenomenon. Though concerning the greenhouse effect the focus is on carbon-dioxide, there are other gases contribution of which is also substantial. Methane is one these gases and is characterized as much more efficient in this sense as CO2. The main atmospheric methane sources are artificial (industrial and agricultural), also natural. Important examples of the latter are marsh fields, deep ocean, and polar territories. Continuous monitoring these territories is becoming increasingly important recently. | Apart from the fact that methane as natural gas, it is widely used energy source and important raw material in chemical industry it still has other importance in several areas of human life.

− | Though many types of electronic methane sensors are available on the market, it often happens that quantitative precision is not needed at the first step. A good example can be when methane leaking should be mapped on a large marsh field using many test points parallelly. At the first stage, qualitative data are still sufficient in checking whether leaking occurs on a certain point of the field. Moreover, the leaking speed in such area can be minimal, therefore a cumulative measurement provides more accurate and appropriate results. | + | Though many types of electronic methane sensors are available on the market, it often happens that quantitative precision is not needed at the first step.

Methane is an essential component of artificially produced biogas, as well. Biogas is not only an industrial product of waste management, but widely used in the developing countries by millions of people to ensure the heat for everyday activities, such as cooking and producing hot water. As these family-biogas-plants are usually built from insufficient homemade materials, posing relevant threat for the people use them. The family budget in these countries is far scarce to buy a professional methane sensor so explosions caused by biogas-leaking can’t be predicted in any way. </p5> | Methane is an essential component of artificially produced biogas, as well.
