Following carbon dioxide, methane ranks as the second most prevalent greenhouse gas resulting from human activities. Its global warming potential over two decades exceeds that…
Cornell research indicates that ponds could be net emitters of greenhouse gases, particularly methane. Addressing methane release could potentially turn ponds from greenhouse gas sources…
Freshwater ecosystems are responsible for about half of the world’s methane releases, a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. A significant portion of…
Recent research reveals that volcanic activity 56 million years ago emitted a higher amount of methane than previously estimated. Approximately 55 million years ago, the…
Scientists have developed a catalyst using single palladium atoms that can remove 90% of unburned methane from natural gas engine exhaust at low temperatures, offering…
New research improves our understanding of the global methane budget. The research includes a proposed new mechanism whereby blowing mineral dust mixes with sea-spray to…
Researchers demonstrate a way to remove the potent greenhouse gas from the exhaust of engines that burn natural gas. A new catalyst using single palladium…
Shrinking Arctic glaciers are uncovering bubbling groundwater springs that release large amounts of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, according to a study in Nature Geoscience….
How a methanogenic microbe reassembles a metabolic pathway piece by piece to transform Sulfate into a cellular building block. Researchers have discovered that the methanogen…
Scientists have deciphered how an activated catalyst breaks down the strong carbon-hydrogen bonds in potent greenhouse gas methane, according to a study published in Science….
Advancement in pollution detection methods raises questions about current environmental policies. UC Riverside scientists have discovered a massive amount of methane, a highly potent greenhouse…
Impacts of potent greenhouse gas: a bit lower than previously thought. UC Riverside researchers found that methane not only traps heat in the atmosphere but…
New findings reveal that deep-sea methane deposits are converting into gas at a higher rate than previously observed and that a specific group of fossilized…
Research conducted by Princeton University and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association suggests that a chemical reaction in the lower atmosphere could restrict the potential…
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology have uncovered how a methane-producing microbe thrives on toxic sulfite without becoming poisoned. Methanogens are tiny…
An ultra-stable protein nanowire made by bacteria provides clues to combating climate change. Rapid global warming poses a severe and immediate threat to life on…
Montreal’s municipal greenhouse gas inventory presents an incomplete picture of methane emissions. Cities are responsible for almost 1/5th of the global methane emissions caused by…
