Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas with strong heat-trapping capabilities. Although there is less methane in the atmosphere ...

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, warming the planet far faster than carbon dioxide over the short term.

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

A change in atmospheric chemistry during the covid pandemic resulted in methane concentrations spiking, raising concerns that ...

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

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

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 ...

Analysis revealed that the weakened methane sink provided by hydroxy radicals may account for around 80% of the year-to-year ...

In an ironic twist, lower air pollution during Covid lockdowns fuelled an unprecedented surge in the powerful greenhouse gas ...

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

Go back a generation of development, and excepting the shuttle-derived systems, all liquid rockets used RP-1 (aka kerosene) for their first stage. Now it seems everybody and their dog wants to fuel ...

Forest soils have an important role in protecting our climate: They remove large quantities of methane—a powerful greenhouse ...
