Berkeley Lab scientists show decadal increases in wetland methane emissions in Arctic and Boreal ecosystems. Wetlands are Earth’s largest natural source of methane, a potent…
Scientists say vast quantities of methane may be trapped beneath the permafrost, and it could escape if it thaws. Studies in Svalbard have shown that…
In a spectacular new study, researchers from the University of Copenhagen have used light and chlorine to eradicate low-concentration methane from air. The result gets…
Research indicates that oceanic fire-ice, or frozen methane, is vulnerable to melting from climate change, posing a significant threat of methane release into the atmosphere….
A new solar-driven photocatalysis method for syngas production from methane steam reforming promises a more sustainable and efficient approach to syngas generation. Recent research reveals…
NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected methane in the atmosphere of the exoplanet WASP-80 b, a milestone in space exploration. This discovery, confirmed through…
Since launching 16 months ago, the EMIT imaging spectrometer aboard the International Space Station has shown an ability to detect more than just surface minerals….
Warming led to an intensified methane cycle, lasting thousands of years, study finds. New study makes novel use of plant biomarkers preserved in sediment to…
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…
