OMNI Features｜Climate Change Linked to GHG Migration Below Permafrost / Strict Thresholds for Energy-Heavy Industries in 2024 / CHT Aims to Implement 100% Net Zero Procurement by 2027
A study in Norway's Svalbard archipelago indicates methane migrating below the permafrost. While lowland areas with ice-rich permafrost effectively seal gases, highland regions with less ice appear more permeable.
