Climate talks often revolve around reducing the most dangerous greenhouse gas CO 2. But other powerful heat-trapping emissions—of methane—will be in the crosshairs at a global forum in Geneva this ...

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 ...

Pockets of methane gas can also escape during extraction of other fossil fuels. Methane is sometimes even burned, or flared, if it is not the main target of exploration. The new study focused on ...

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that can pack more than 25 times the global warming punch of carbon dioxide, and atmospheric methane emissions have been growing significantly since 2007. So it’s ...

Natural gas is one of the major naturally occurring and efficient energy sources, consisting of a complex mixture of light hydrocarbon compounds (C 1 –C 11, where methane > 90% v/v) and a minor ...

Industry Insight from Ethical Corporation Magazine, a part of Thomson Reuters. 157 countries signed COP26 Global Methane Pledge to cut global methane emissions by 30% by 2030 But IEA found methane ...
