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

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

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, warming the planet far faster than carbon dioxide over the short term. Yet much of the world’s methane escapes into the air from landfills, farms, ...

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

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

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 ...

A chemical reaction can convert two polluting greenhouse gases into valuable building blocks for cleaner fuels and feedstocks, but the high temperature required for the reaction also deactivates the ...

The Global Methane Pledge, launched at COP26, aimed to cut global methane emissions by 30% by 2030, but progress has stalled. UN satellite data reveals over 14,000 methane leaks, with nearly 90% going ...

Microwave-assisted catalytic reactions are considered energy-efficient and have attracted attention in various chemical processes. This is due to the selective and rapid heating of target materials or ...

Emissions of the powerful greenhouse gas methane remain "far too high" according to a report released Wednesday by the International Energy Agency (IEA), even though technology exists to control many ...

With an improved catalyst, ORNL chemists converted two greenhouse gases, methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), to syngas, a valuable mix of hydrogen (H2) and carbon monoxide (CO). A chemical ...
