Methane gas is emitted during the decomposition process of organic materials in an anaerobic ("no air") environment. Methane is 28 times more insulative of atmospheric heat than CO₂, and is therefore a huge contributing force to global climate change. Since the FoodCycler® aerates the food waste while heating and pulverizing (an aerobic environment), those environmentally damaging methane gases are not produced during the cycle.
