Massive production of abiotic methane during subduction evidenced in metamorphosed ophicarbonates from the Italian Alps

Massive production of abiotic methane during subduction evidenced in metamorphosed ophicarbonates from the Italian Alps

Alteration of ultramafic rocks plays a role in hydrocarbon production, but little is known about this process at depth. Here, the authors provide evidence that alteration of carbonated ultramafic rocks at high-pressures are an important source of abiotic methanogenesis with implications for deep C m...
