Reducing greenhouse gases starts with understanding exactly where the gases come from. Satellites can help us visualise this.

Methane is one of the main drivers of climate change, responsible for 30 per cent of the warming since preindustrial times, ...

Methane is a greenhouse gas that, molecule for molecule, traps heat in the atmosphere more effectively than carbon dioxide, though over a much shorter timescale (decades versus centuries). Reducing ...

If humanity wants to throw brakes on climate change, it has to step up its control over human sources of methane emissions.

The findings come as the Oregon Legislature is considering a bill to improve landfill methane monitoring and reporting.

Delhi's 'garbage mountain' is a major source of methane emissions worldwide.Beyond its environmental impact, it is severely ...

This methane was not produced by microbial activity beneath the ice, as previously suspected in other glacial settings, but instead came from thermogenic sources -- methane that has been trapped ...

While carbon dioxide remains a long-term threat, methane’s short-term impact is far more severe. Major sources of methane include agriculture and land use, but in the Niger Delta, the primary ...

Loudoun County’s Board of Supervisors hopes to turn methane gas from the county’s landfill into renewable natural gas, perhaps within the next five years.

Flammable ice, also known as methane hydrate, is a resource that consists of methane molecules trapped within a lattice of ice. This unconventional natural gas source has garnered interest due to its ...
