Scientists from Skoltech and Heriot-Watt University proposed extracting methane by injecting flue gas into permafrost hydrate reservoirs. Since the flue gas contains carbon dioxide, the new... Read more
Finding natural gas leaks more quickly and at lower cost could reduce methane emissions. Ten promising technologies mounted on drones, trucks and airplanes were tested last year. The results... Read more
As methane concentrations increase in the Earth’s atmosphere, chemical fingerprints point to a probable source: shale oil and gas, according to new Cornell University research published toda... Read more
A seemingly counterintuitive approach – converting one greenhouse gas into another – holds promise for returning the atmosphere to pre-industrial concentrations of methane, a powerful driver... Read more
A newly identified bacteria inhales methane from the atmosphere for energy Methane is an atmospheric trace gas whose concentration has steadily increased since the beginning of the industria... Read more
The primary component of natural gas, methane, is itself a potent greenhouse gas. A recent study, affiliated with UNIST has unveiled a high performance catalyst for methane conversion to for... Read more
Researchers from the Institute of Chemical Technology (ITQ), Valencia’s Polytechnic University (UPV) and the Superior Council of Scientific Investigations (CSIC) have developed ceramic membr... Read more
New process could lead to production of methanol or acetic acid through more energy efficient, low-cost and environmentally-friendly ways The direct oxidation of methane—found in natural gas... Read more
