“…Leakage of C2 from subsurface reservoirs due to natural gas loss during gas and oil drilling, coal mining, gas venting, gas transmission, and transportation is substantial and has been estimated at 2.6-11 Tg yr À1 with a best estimate of 6 Tg yr À1 (Rudolph, 1995). Sources of C3 and C4 alkanes are not as well constrained but generally correspond with those of C2 and include biomass burning (Clarkson et al, 1997;Scholes et al, 2003), oceans (Saito et al, 2000), and natural gas leakage (Wang et al, 2000). The amount of radiocarbon-free C1 in the atmosphere is higher than the amount of C1 estimated from global anthropogenic natural gas loss (Lacroix, 1993;Etiope and Klusman, 2002), raising the possibility of significant geologic emission of C1-C4 hydrocarbons into the atmosphere through gas permeable faults and fractured rock.…”

Recognizing and procurement of a sustainable energy system are among the supreme important problems that today's scientists should tackle. Interchanging the existing fossil fuels and transforming them into a sustainable fuel is one of the vital pieces in that system. Hydrogen as an energy carrier, obtained from light hydrocarbons, can take an essential role in the matters of sustainability, eco-friendly emissions, and energy saving. Our enthusiasm in stirring toward a hydrogen economy has its root in the vision of securing energy requirements at a satisfactory price, with larger competence and small environmental destruction associated with the utilization of traditional fuels. Hydrogen production pathways and relevant issues are discussed here. This chapter highlights the recent technological progress in the light hydrocarbons toward sustainable hydrogen production.

“…Kansal 11 has reviewd the motor vehicular exhausts, solvent evaporation, petro-chemical industries, Natural/LPG gas leakage are amongst the main sources of NMHCs. Wang et al, 12 reported that motor vehicular exhausts and leakage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are the primary sources of NMHCs in Taipei city in Taiwan. The types of emission mostly depend on the nature of the fuel and its combustion.…”

This study present extensive review on the atmospheric non methane hydrocarbons for the monitoring technology, source profile, and variability studies which have been done by various researchers at different research and development institutions all over the India. Most of the studies have reported that the concentration level in the urban environment is elevated at alarming level due to vehicular emission, refinery operation, secondary industrial process, LPG leakage and biomass burning. The elevated ambient concentration of NMHCs in an urban environment has a significant impact on climate change and human health. NMHCs levels are to be removed and limit the emission by using newer technology under specific industrial and practical conditions in the present time. This review aims at a summarizing discussion on the entire areas which come underneath the umbrella of NMHCs technologies and helpful to the future researchers and those findings will be helped to the formulate policies and implement for the enhancement of air quality in India.
