"The countries where we measure the largest oil and gas methane emissions are Turkmenistan, the U.S., Russia, Mexico and Kazakhstan." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

UN reports 12% of methane alerts answered by companies and governments Methane emissions have increased despite global pledge to cut by 30% this decade Observatory to track super emitters in coal, ...

Several agency programs are trying to track and reduce methane emissions around the world. To meet global targets, use of them needs to speed up. By Sachi Kitajima Mulkey The world is not moving ...

Methane is one of the most concerning greenhouse gas emissions. One of the most potent greenhouse gas emissions has been discovered seeping out of cracks of the Antarctic seafloor, researchers ...

Large methane leaks at oil and gas facilities across the United States not only unleash massive plumes of the potent greenhouse gas, but also carry a toxic mix of air pollutants that jeopardize the ...

The findings are important because methane is over 25 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas. Arctic lakes are already major natural methane sources globally, but the processes ...

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Odorless and colorless, methane is a gas that is easy to miss—but it’s one of the most important contributors to ...

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, significantly contributing to global warming. It also affects the formation of other climate-relevant substances like ozone and water ...

Emissions of the powerful greenhouse gas methane remain "far too high" according to a report released Wednesday by the International Energy Agency (IEA), even though technology exists to control many ...

Warming temperatures may cause methane emissions from wetlands to rise — by helping methane-producing bacteria thrive. Higher temperatures favor the activity of wetland soil microbes that produce the ...

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, ...

Chemical engineers designed a catalyst that can convert methane into useful polymers, which could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Although it is less abundant than carbon dioxide, methane gas ...
