Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, with an impact estimated at 80 times that of CO₂. Although efforts are being made to ...

Cleaner air didn’t mean lower methane. New research shows how chemical shifts and La Niña rains pushed methane emissions to record levels.

Methane levels in Earth’s atmosphere surged faster than ever in the early 2020s, and scientists say the reason was a surprising mix of chemistry and climate. A temporary slowdown in the atmosphere’s ...

Observational data suggest models are likely underestimating the amount of methane lost through atmospheric chemistry ...

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas with strong heat-trapping capabilities. Although there is less methane in the atmosphere ...

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the atmosphere temporarily lost its ability to break down methane, leading to a huge spike in ...

In recent years, researchers have begun using satellite imaging to detect methane plumes from factory farms — but the picture ...

The complexities of urban environments—like variable winds off tall buildings or surfaces—significantly impair the ability to detect natural gas leaks from underground pipelines, a new study shows.

Scot Miller is an assistant professor in Johns Hopkins University's Department of Environmental Health and Engineering whose research focuses on greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution. His ...

Can methane flare burners be advanced to produce less methane? This is what a recent study published in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research hopes to address as a team of researchers from the ...

As the cruise industry embraces LNG, the conversation has shifted from feasibility to methane slip. Advances in engine technology, independent validation, and real-world operations show LNG becoming a ...
