The amount of methane added to the atmosphere in the past decade also corresponds to studies that show fracking operations leak, vent, or flare between 2 and 6 percent of the gas produced, Howarth ...

PARIS, France, May 12, 2025 (ENS) – Measures to tackle methane emissions are often cost-effective and could have brought an extra 100 billion cubic meters of gas to market in 2024, but now the ...

“2025 marks a pivotal year for methane mitigation, with coal mine emissions decreasing for the first time as the EU Methane Regulation for the energy sector takes effect,” says Dr Sabina Assan ...

Methane leaks from sites like rice paddies, landfills, dairy farms and coal mines could be plugged with the help of gas-guzzling bacteria, helping to curb near-term global warming. Later this year ...

In another paper recently published in Global Change Biology, scientists propose direct intervention in natural wetland methane emissions through adding sulphate to these ecosystems, essentially ...

The result is a new, non-GMO plant that generates 70 percent less methane while still generating plenty of grains: The global average yield of rice is 4.71 tons per hectare, while this new variety ...

Emissions of methane are dominated by so-called super-emitters: 5 percent of facilities yield more than half of all methane emissions in a given oil and gas field or industry.

Global methane emissions have increased rapidly over the past five years. Human-caused sources originate with livestock, agriculture, fossil fuels, landfills and other waste.

Pure methane reacts -- with very low yield -- to give ethane, propane and hydrogen. The addition of oxygen increases the conversion, resulting mainly in CO 2 as well as CO, ethylene, and water.

In case you haven't heard, the methane in cow burps is a major source of greenhouse gases. There may be a new way of addressing that problem, however, as a recent study shows that feeding cows ...
