Methane comes in different isotopic signatures. Methane from fossil fuels like natural gas leaks or coal mines is heavier, ...

Atmospheric methane rose faster than ever in the early 2020s, driven less by fossil fuels and more by changes in nature itself.

Experts have observed an intriguing phenomenon on the ocean floor in the Ross Sea coastal region of Antarctica, which has been explained in the journal Nature Communications. They have discovered ...

Methane spiked in the early 2020s as wetter conditions boosted emissions at the same time the atmosphere’s chemical “cleaner” weakened.

Through a combination of high-pressure experiments and optical spectroscopy, physicists have revealed new insights into the ...

NO x reacts with air to form hydroxyl radicals. These go on to destroy methane, turning it into carbon dioxide, a less potent greenhouse gas. So, less NO x inadvertently led to more methane persisting ...

Can methane flare burners be advanced to produce less methane? This is what a recent study published in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research hopes to address as a team of researchers from the ...

Catalytic methane oxidation and combustion represent a critical domain in energy and environmental research. Methane, as the principal component of natural gas, is a promising low-carbon fuel; however ...

Scientists found that natural bacteria can eat methane, cut climate pollution, and turn waste gas into useful materials.

As society sorts through its response to the threat of Climate Change, much of the attention is on ways to generate more renewable energy and “electrification” of the transport sector. There are many ...
