Defining what methane is and how it is produced is the first step to understanding its impact on the environment.

Reducing methane emissions from animal agriculture is no longer a hypothetical. At the 2025 State of the Science Summit: ...

The innovation – developed under the name EcoPond – is being rolled out across 250 farms associated with Fonterra Co-operative Group and Synlait Milk through a pilot programme.

Power plants and industrial facilities that emit planet-warming carbon dioxide are hopeful that Congress will keep tax credits for capturing the gas and storing it deep underground.

Rice plants are a big source of methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas. Scientists just developed a strain that cuts those emissions by 70 percent.

Rice paddies, like cows, spew methane. A new variety makes them a lot less gassy. Rice plants are a big source of methane, an extremely potent greenhouse gas. Scientists just developed a strain ...

Microbial methane metabolism is an important process in the global carbon cycle, and research to understand this biological process has significant impacts in global energy. About 1 Gt of methane is ...

MIT chemical engineers have developed a groundbreaking catalyst that converts methane gas into valuable polymers like urea-formaldehyde.

The methane-producing single-celled organisms are called methanogens. While humans and other animals eat food, breathe oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide to survive, methanogens eat small molecules ...

This is significant as methanogens produce 70 percent of the world's methane—a gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide when it comes to trapping heat in the atmosphere, Hatzenpichler said.

Hatzenpichler said that’s significant because methanogens produce 70% of the world’s methane, a gas 28 times more potent than carbon dioxide in trapping heat in the atmosphere, according to ...
