Can methane flare burners be advanced to produce less methane? This is what a recent study published in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research hopes to address as a team of researchers from the ...

Methane levels in Earth’s atmosphere surged faster than ever in the early 2020s, and scientists say the reason was a surprising mix of chemistry and climate. A temporary slowdown in the atmosphere’s ...

Cleaner air didn’t mean lower methane. New research shows how chemical shifts and La Niña rains pushed methane emissions to record levels.

Observational data suggest models are likely underestimating the amount of methane lost through atmospheric chemistry ...

As mighty glaciers melt in the Arctic, new research finds million-year-old methane gas trapped beneath the ice is surfacing, with a potential to further warm the planet. "Glacial retreat is the big ...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the atmosphere temporarily lost its ability to break down methane, leading to a huge spike in ...

As the cruise industry embraces LNG, the conversation has shifted from feasibility to methane slip. Advances in engine technology, independent validation, and real-world operations show LNG becoming a ...

Plans are in the works for California to launch a methane-detecting satellite network, the governor's office says. The project is a continuation of the state's efforts to launch its "own damn ...

Heat-trapping methane may be best known for the dangers it poses to humans and Earth’s atmosphere, but in the dark depths of the ocean, the greenhouse gas is a nourishing meal for some of the world’s ...
