As methane is a potent greenhouse gas and measuring the concentration of carbon-14 in a methane sample gives information about the origin of the sample, it is important to be able monitor 14CH4. The state-of-the-art method for radiomethane measurements is accelerator mass spectrometry, but optical methods have also been proposed due their affordability and suitability for field measurements...
