  Apart From Gas Fields An Alternative Method Of Obtaining Methane Is Via "http://wwwinformationdelightinfo/information/entry/biogas" class="copylinks">Biogas generated by the Fermentation of organic matter including Manure , wastewater sludge, municipal solid waste (including landfills), or any other biodegradable feedstock, under anaerobic conditions Methane hydrates/clathrates (icelike combinations of methane and water on the sea floor, found in vast quantities) are a potential future source of methane Some say that significant quantities are also produced by Cattle Belching This however, remains to be proven and most scientists refute this as a fact http://wwwmycattlecom/health/dsp_health_articlecfmstoryid=10045http://newsbbccouk/1/hi/scotland/4582174stm The livestock sector in general (primarily cattle, chickens, and pigs) produces 37% of all human-induced methane"{{cite web url=http://wwwvirtualcentreorg/en/library/key_pub/longshad/A0701E00htm
