Direct conversion of methane (CH 4) to high value-added chemicals at room temperature, by directly using abundant and low-cost molecular oxygen (O 2) as an oxidant, is an ideal route for CH 4 ...

Methane is currently responsible for about one-third of global warming. This greenhouse gas is about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in terms of its ability to heat up the climate system, ...

Avoiding the worst impacts of climate change may require removing methane from industrial emissions streams and the atmosphere — but researchers are so far stymied on how to capture the potent ...

Dams and reservoirs around the world are an underappreciated source of methane. Now start-ups want to capture that gas as a source of power. It takes just one second for four Olympic-sized swimming ...

Roughly two-thirds of all atmospheric methane, a potent greenhouse gas, comes from methanogens. Tracking down which methanogens in which environment produce methane with a specific isotope signature ...

A colossal underwater volcano in the South Pacific may have revealed a surprising new weapon against climate change. After the 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai, scientists detected enormous ...

Methane — a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide — plays a major role in controlling the Earth’s climate. But methane concentrations in the atmosphere today are 150% higher than before ...
