...Apart from methane as the major constituent, longer chain hydrocarbons such as ethane and propane also present in thermogenic natural gases (C1/C2+ < 100) [21,23]....

...Biogenic natural gases are formed from CH4-generating microbes (methanogens), which can be characterized by their high methane purity (C1/C2+ > 100) [20–22]....

...Experiment - AGAGE 14 , Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation 62 CSIRO 5 , University of California Irvine - UCI 15 ) show consistent changes in the global 63 annual CH4 growth rate since 1980 (Fig. 1 and ST1 in SI text). The agreement between these 64 networks has improved with increasing coverage. The standard deviation for the global annual 65 growth rate decreased from ±3.3 ppb.yr -1 (1980s) to ±1.3 ppb.yr -1 (2000s). These data reveal a 66 sustained increase of atmospheric CH4 in the 1980s (by an average of 12±6 ppb....
