Methane is a more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but there is far less of it in the atmosphere and it does not stay there as long. Methane is more than 25 times as potent as carbon ...

The idea seems counterintuitive: after all, methane, the major component of natural gas, has been demonized by environmentalists for being a potent greenhouse gas. But a synthetic version could ...

Billions of cubic meters of natural gas are flared or vented at oil production sites around the globe each year. Flaring gas contributes to climate change by releasing millions of tons of carbon ...

"Gas utilities have known for decades that their products fuel the climate crisis," Johl continued, "yet they continue to deceptively market methane gas as a climate solution." Primary among NW ...

The flames confirm that the bubbles are methane, the main component of natural gas. By counting and measuring them, Walter Anthony is trying to gauge how much methane is rising from Goldstream ...

They can exist under a wide range of conditions as “biofilms” and so they can be put into streams of air containing methane gas on various sorts of filter supports and effectively scrub the ...

Almost two decades ago, the atmosphere’s levels of methane — a dangerous greenhouse gas that is over 80 times as potent as carbon dioxide in the short term — started to climb. And climb.

Experts have struggled to explain why methane levels are rising so quickly, owing to the many different processes and sources that produce the gas. However, many point the finger toward rising ...

In the oil and gas industry, the challenge is to address different types of emissions, such as direct methane from leaks and venting, as well as the carbon dioxide that’s emitted during combustion.

Scientists have discovered that the icy shell of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, could possess an insulated, six-mile-thick (9.7-kilometer-thick) layer of methane ice beneath its surface.
