Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that locks in around 80 times more warming over the course of two decades than CO2, but fades more quickly from the atmosphere. As a result, cutting methane ...

An international team of researchers found that global emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, rose faster than ever in the three years ending in 2022. In a new report from the Global ...

Methane reductions will be high on the agenda at November’s UN Conference of the Parties (COP29) climate summit, but there is a problem in efforts to cut emissions of this greenhouse gas. Most ...

The underground mines are a major source of methane emissions, with the gas escaping through ventilation systems, cracks, and open pits during extraction . The planned expansion could result in ...

By Max Bearak The United States’ booming fossil-fuel industry continues to emit more and more planet-warming methane into the atmosphere, new research showed, despite a U.S.-led effort to ...

Washington — The Supreme Court on Friday allowed the Biden administration to continue enforcing, for the time being, a new rule that aims to curb emissions of the greenhouse gas methane from new ...

"Global methane emissions increased from about 499 teragrams (Tg) to 550 Tg during the period from 2010 to 2019, followed by a surge to 570 -- 590 Tg between 2020 and 2022." Atmospheric methane ...

Researchers have developed a novel catalyst Au/BiO x-TiO 2 for efficient, selective and stable photocatalytic light-driven oxidative coupling of methane (OCM). Producing value-added chemicals ...

While the processes are covered thoroughly in the paper, essentially the method kicks off a chain reaction that sees an oxygen atom detach from the carbon dioxide and hop onto a methane molecule ...

Human activities now account for two-thirds of all methane venting to the atmosphere, and our efforts to staunch the flow are not yet bearing fruit. The goal of the 2021 Global Methane Pledge is ...

A methane gas leak forced evacuation orders in Ventura Thursday afternoon. Fire crews responded to reports of methane gas odors on the 2800 block of Bayshore Avenue at around 11 a.m. By 3 p.m ...

New technology allows farmers to track methane emission levels from their cattle. The devices record a cow's body weight and track how much greenhouse gases they are producing with each breath and ...
