When household waste decomposes at a landfill, it produces methane, a greenhouse gas that traps significantly more heat in ...

Methane also escapes into the air when coal, oil and natural gas are extracted from the Earth. Some farmers collect methane gas from animal waste. The methane can be pumped into the mains gas ...

Researchers at NETL, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory, are helping develop a visualization tool for methane, the main component of natural gas, that could aid in safer removals of ...

Methane is a more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, but there is far less of it in the atmosphere and it does not stay there as long. Methane is more than 25 times as potent as carbon ...

In the oil and gas industry, the challenge is to address different types of emissions, such as direct methane from leaks and venting, as well as the carbon dioxide that’s emitted during combustion.

displaying a melting point of 188°C and a distinct infrared signature confirming its structure. This breakthrough not only converts methane—a potent greenhouse gas—into eco-friendly materials ...
