methane

NOAA report finds 2021 had the biggest annual increase in atmospheric methane levels since records began.

Methane—the greenhouse gas burped out by cows—could be a sign of life on other planets for scientists using the James Webb Space Telescope.

Beavers are significantly impacting the landscape and releasing greenhouse gasses through their pond-building activities.

BMW is expanding its partnership with CalBio, a company that utilizes dairy farm technology to convert methane into clean energy.

Six out of the 10 biggest methane-emitting countries have vowed to reduce the greenhouse gas.

The American Exploration & Production Council said new regulations curbing methane could raise compliance costs. It also took aim at a proposed methane tax.

Dozens of countries have now promised to slash emissions of methane, a highly polluting greenhouse gas.

Glassblowing businesses in Italy are trying to recover after the pandemic shutdowns as prices surged for methane, which powers the ovens.

Officials in central China have ruled out a natural gas leak, with inspectors suspecting a sewer gas explosion instead.

A scientist studying the crater in the remote Yamal peninsula also said it has just a few years to "live."

The crater is believed to have formed through an explosion after a build-up of methane underground.

Studies show emissions have risen by almost 10 percent in the last 20 years.

Researchers had previously found evidence of over 100 craters lining the floor of the Barents Sea.

Scientists from Denmark were studying a king penguin colony to assess its impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

Bacteria that consume methane were found to burrow into the worms' skin, allowing them to get nutrients from the greenhouse gas.

Researchers found these regions of the eastern Arctic Ocean are relatively rare, which is "good news" for the climate.

The next decades, partly as a result of our inaction over the past ones, are crucial to mitigate climate warming. It is time to embrace innovative and proactive new experiments.

A method of extracting methane recently described in Scientific Reports could turn permafrost hydrate reservoirs into carbon sinks.

The leak emitted more of the gas in 20 days than the oil and gas industries of some European nations do in a year.

Wetlands are the biggest natural source of methane in the world.

Scientists used buckets to scoop out methane bubbles from a spot in the Arctic sea.

Workers and residents near fracking sites in Colorado are exposed to toxic chemicals says a Colorado study.

The researchers were able to scoop the bubbling water out of the sea with buckets.

The 'abiotic' methane may hold clues about its presence elsewhere in the solar system, researchers say.

"The commercialization of shale gas and oil in the 21st century has dramatically increased global methane emissions", said the scientist behind the study.

Scientists have identified genetically inherited gut microbes that regulate how much methane a cow produces.

If growth continues, it could negate or reverse any gains made by reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

"The technology has major environmental ramifications and has the potential to alter the economic and political landscape in many U.S. states."

Four million people living in the Arctic permafrost area will be affected by damage to infrastructure.

Sólheimajökull glacier, which flows from Katla volcano, found to be major source of the greenhouse gas.
