AMES, Iowa – Methane, which produces more warming than other greenhouse gases and is the subject of newly announced U.S. emission restrictions, is hard to break down and keep out of the atmosphere. It ...

The catalytic combustion of methane offers a pathway to convert methane, a potent greenhouse gas, into carbon dioxide and water at temperatures significantly lower than those required for conventional ...

Some 50 oil and gas companies worldwide have pledged to shore up leaky methane systems by 2030, a move that could rapidly reduce emissions of the potent gas and forestall some climate change effects — ...

Methane has a much shorter atmospheric lifetime than CO2 (around 12 years compared with centuries for CO2) but it is a more ...

Today's catalysts for removing unburnt methane from natural-gas engine exhaust are either inefficient at low, start-up temperatures or break down at higher operating temperatures. A new single-atom ...

A common practice in the oil industry called flaring is believed to cut down on methane emissions by burning waste or excess gas in the process of extracting or processing oil. But flaring may not be ...

From icy-blue flames to the promise of Mars refueling, methane-powered rocket engines are redefining how we think about propulsion. SpaceX’s Raptor and Blue Origin’s BE-4 are leading this shift, ...
