Methane is a greenhouse gas that, molecule for molecule, traps heat in the atmosphere more effectively than carbon dioxide, ...

They also kept the surface under ultra-high vacuum during experiments to prevent contamination from gas particles present ... If two states of a methane molecule had incompatible symmetry, then ...

The EU has a regulation on tracking, recording, and reducing methane emissions from imported gas, but effectively enforcing ...

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).

What do cows, gas pipelines and landfills have in common? CH4, an organic molecule better known as methane. While the effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions has long focused on carbon dioxide ...

The idea seems counterintuitive: after all, methane, the major component of natural gas, has been demonized by environmentalists for being a potent greenhouse gas. But a synthetic version could ...

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 ...

While methane is a potent greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming, it also has complex chemical interactions in the atmosphere that can affect ozone levels. Understanding these dual ...

Cutting down emissions of planet-warming methane from oil and gas production was supposed to be relatively simple. It hasn’t worked that way. By Claire Brown For the oil and gas industry ...

The devices look a bit like walkie-talkies. But they are equipped with sensors that reveal the extent of methane, turning this invisible gas into concrete numbers on a screen. Those numbers can be ...
