New research reveals that drying forest soils can boost methane uptake, offering a small but important climate benefit as warming continues.

Gamma radiation can convert methane into a wide variety of products at room temperature, including hydrocarbons, oxygen-containing molecules, and amino acids, reports a research team. This type of ...

Methane spiked in the early 2020s as wetter conditions boosted emissions at the same time the atmosphere’s chemical “cleaner” weakened.

Elon Musk wants to turn one of the planet’s biggest problems into literal rocket fuel. His pitch is deceptively simple: capture carbon dioxide from the air, combine it with hydrogen, and feed it into ...

(a) Schematic in a solid oxide electrolyzer; (b) cross-sectional images of CMW@GDC/LSM/YSZ/NiO-YSZ solid oxide electrolyzer. The electrochemical oxidative coupling of ...

As the climate crisis becomes a part of daily life with unprecedented heat waves and cold snaps, technology to effectively remove greenhouse gases is emerging as a critical global challenge. In ...

Methane comes in different isotopic signatures. Methane from fossil fuels like natural gas leaks or coal mines is heavier, ...

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 ...

Alliant Techsystems recently demonstrated a critical capability of its liquid oxygen (LOX)/Methane rocket engine by igniting it in a vacuum chamber. The successful ignition test was designed to ...
