Abstract Annual increases in atmospheric methane have reached record highs over the past five years, yet the underlying processes and regional sources remain uncertain. Here we quantify the average 2019-2021 global methane budget using Bayesian 4D-Var inversions that assimilate satellite methane retrievals and in-situ δ13C-CH4 and δD-CH4 measurements. The methane-isotopic inversion yields total emissions of 623 [585–643] Tg/y, slightly higher than the methane-only inversion.

Abstract Hydrogen (H2) will play a part in decarbonizing the global energy system1. However, hydrogen interacts with methane, ozone, and stratospheric water vapour, leading to an indirect 100-year global warming potential of 11 ± 4 (refs. 2,3,4,5). This raises concerns about the climate consequences of increasing H2 use under future hydrogen economies3,5. A comprehensive accounting of H2 sources and sinks is essential for assessing changes and mitigating environmental risks.
