Data from the Tropomi instrument onboard the Copernicus Sentinel-5P satellite has been used to detect methane plumes over some of Europe’s largest methane-emitting coal mines….
A new study assesses the planetary context in which the detection of methane in an exoplanet’s atmosphere could be considered a compelling sign of life….
An international team of researchers has revealed that tropical terrestrial methane (CH4) emissions explain more than 80% of the observed changes in the global atmospheric…
Loci Controls, founded by two MIT alumni, helps landfill operators capture more of the potent greenhouse gas. The second-largest driver of global warming is methane,…
Study estimates that methane leaking from stoves inside US homes has the same climate impact as about 500,000 gasoline-powered cars and the stoves can expose…
With special treatment, minerals called zeolites — commonly found in cat litter — can efficiently remove the greenhouse gas from the air, researchers report. Methane…
Scientists have succeeded in cultivating an archaeon that converts oil into methane. They describe how the microbe achieves the transformation and that it prefers to…
Most of the methane gas emitted from Amazon wetlands regions is vented into the atmosphere via tree root systems – with significant emissions occurring even…
Longest continuously-monitored methane emissions record shows how market forces and oilfield practices can impact greenhouse gas emissions. As important as emissions of the greenhouse gas…
The UN Environment Program (UNEP), with support from the European Union, today launched a new Observatory to drive action on reducing methane emissions – a…
Using precision instruments and new mapping and machine-learning tools, a research team has been pinpointing sources of the greenhouse gas. In October 2016, an aircraft…
Today, human sources are responsible for 60% of global methane emissions, coming primarily from the burning of fossil fuels, decomposition in landfills, and the agriculture…
Methane made from CO2 and renewable hydrogen offers a new path toward cheaper carbon capture. In their ongoing effort to make carbon capture more affordable,…
